Today we think deeply about freedom and celebrate✊🏾🇺🇸
The flag uses the colors red, white and blue of the American flag. Featured prominently in the center of the flag is a bursting star. Running through the center of the flag horizontally, is an arc that is meant to symbolize the new horizon of opportunity for black people. The horizon shows blue above and the red color below is symbolic of the ground soaked with blood; the blood which was shed of the Black Americans enslaved by the United States. The star is a “Bursting star of freedom.” The five-pointed star refers both to Texas and to the “freedom of African Americans in all 50 states”. Surrounding it is a 12-ray nova (or “new star”) representing a new beginning for all. The red, white, and blue colors were meant to convey the message that all enslaved people in the United States — as well as their descendants — are American.
