Excerpt from https://originalblackamericanheritageflag.com/ on the design of the Flag.

According to the designers, "...the elements of the flag include the color black to represent pride and pigmentation and race; red, to remind us of the rich blood black men have shed for freedom, equality, justice and human dignity throughout the world; and gold, to represent intellect, prosperity, and peace. 

These colors are woven into a composition that juxtaposes the red and black in a set of three stripes: one black stripe centered between two red."  Superimposed on the black stripe is a golden wreath of fig leaves. The cultivated fig is a native of Africa, and ranks as one of the most ancient of life-sustaining fruits. Centered within the golden wreath is a blunted Moorish boarding sword, symbol of leadership carried by the great Moorish leaders of the 8th century. The sword represents the strength and authority exhibited by a black culture that made many contributions to the world in mathematics, art, medicine, and physical science, heralding the contributions that black Americans would make in these and other fields." 

Black Americans are consistently being oppressed. Even in the form of the Black American Heritage flag. Many Black Americans young and old are not even aware that this flag is in existence. My mission with this petition is to aid in the education of Black Americans and their history. Even if the flag is never added to the Unicode set, at the very least, maybe this petition will help to bring a some version of togetherness and community to Black Americans who need solidarity now more than ever. 

Sign this petition and join in educating fellow Black Americans as well as other communities on our history in America. 

Thank you for your time.
