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.
BLACK is for the people.
RED is for the blood shed.
GREEN is for the earth.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. Certainly many have asked. We still search for
the answer.
Let me lay down in green pastures.
The beautiful land, without it we surely perish.
