Following George Floyd's murder, worldwide protests emphasized police violence against Black individuals, bringing attention to the red-black-and-green flag. Created to unite those facing racial repression, this flag originated from a desire for identity and dignity, dating back to early 20th-century dissension. It questions loyalty to oppressive nations versus the establishment of an autonomous community as a symbol of self-determination and resistance against racial injustice.
The story of Black Americans creating their own national flag goes back to at least 1900, calling for a symbol that represents unity against racial oppression.
The red-black-and-green flag emerged as a response to racial repression, symbolizing unity and a distinct identity for Black people worldwide.
