THE FIRST ORIGINAL FLAG FOR BLACK AMERICANS Dear Sisters & Brothers; We are indeed happy and privileged to share the announcement of the First Original Flag for Black Americans. s The purpose of the flag is to bring a national unity to the Black People of the United States. First of all we are American citizens, and will always honor, and respect the American flag. But we are Black People, a race in the United States without the representa­ tion of a flag. This flag will represent us just as the Irish, Polish, N Italian and various nationalities in the United States are repre­ sented by their flag. We have special pride in our history and traditions and feel the world should know of them. The proposal is something that can improve the framework of our already structured society to make O America a more beautiful place in which to live. As Black Ameri­ cans, we feel our intrinsic aims are indeed meritorious and should be shared with you. The Black American Flag will add culture, affirm its own self­ hood, and give a much needed boost in morale. Pride, in race, culture and flag are a beginning. The Black American must begin W to know his worth in the American society. We believe it is time for the Black People to look into himself and begin making his presence felt, not in violence but in economic progress. As indi­ viduals, we have an important role to fill in the future development of America. In this important role we are all leaders. F The courtesy of your endorsement and reply will be greatly ap­ preciated. Respectfully, Gleason T. Jackson L Melvin Charles PLEDGE I pledge my respect to the flag of the Black American and to the people it represents. I shall remain aware of the color red, being ever mindful that it represents the blood shed by our forefathers. A The color black gives me pride and identity. I shall always re­ main true to the American ideal that all men are created equal. SYMBOLS The Moorish Boarding Sword gives representation of strength and K force. The ability to do or act and justify. The rights to deter­ mine, adjudicate and settle issues. The Fig Leaf gives representation of peace and happiness. The cultivated fig is a native of Africa and undoubtedly ranks as one of the most ancient, beautiful and life giving fruits. E Two diagonal stripes represent the blood Blackmen have given for their freedom, justice and human dignity throughout the world. The black diagonal stripe represents the pigmentation and beauty of the Black Americans.
