African-American Flag

The African American Flag is a flag that was created by an artist named David Hammons in the early 1990s. The flag is made up of three colors - black, red, and green. The black panel represents the African American population, the red panel represents the blood shed throughout history, and the green panel represents the hope for a better future. The placement of the colors is also very important, with the black panel in the center, red above that and green below that. This is a visual representation of the importance of African American history and its power.
