A proud symbol of unity, family, strength, self respect and dignity. The Afro-American Flag is vibrantly colored in stripes of gold, black, red and green. Each color has a meaning.
GOLD is for the richness of the people.
RED is for the blood shed. It is the strength and love, of one race of people, derived from a source as pure as gold, that has kept alive the belief in one's self to achieve, to overcome and to finally exalt in the revelation that each one of us is one true great human being. The combination and culmination of all colors, and of all resources, reveals an energy that is beautiful and boundless, free and loving. A whisper in the dark, and a power within emerges to carry the spirit and body through the maze of destiny. No one knows why there must be blood shed to live in peace and harmony.
