The Pan-African flag has meanings for each color. The crimson represents the blood that unifies all Black people and was shed throughout slavery and servitude. Racism and violence have plagued U.S. history. Black people have long been oppressed in America and elsewhere. Black skin is symbolized by the flag's center black stripe. It also shows communal strength. Finally, green symbolizes African fertility. In many ways, Black Americans are stateless. Many lost their ancestry due to the American slave trade. The Pan-African flag's green symbolizes the desire to belong to a promising and developing continent. It represents Black people's place in African history. These three colors signify Black Americans' dynamic energy of creating a community, a space to call their own, and an oppression-free society.

The 1920 red, black, and green Pan-African flag was also known as the UNIA flag, Afro-American banner, and Black Liberation flag. It symbolized Black American freedom, pride, and political power, also known as the Marcus Garvey flag. The Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League were founded by Jamaican political activist, journalist, and speaker Garvey. He founded the organization to advocate anti-colonialism and Black nationalism with friends and activists. UNIA members, including Garvey, devised the Pan-African flag in response to the anti-Black folk song "Every Race Has a Flag but the Coon." The flag was designed to unite Black people and legitimate them as a nation after centuries of enslavement and disenfranchisement. In the 1960s, Black Liberation activists utilized the Pan-African flag to unite and assert power. Flags are everywhere today. Civil rights marches, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day parades, and other events feature it.

An official Juneteenth flag is flown aloft. The flag was designed by activist Ben Haith, creator of the National Juneteenth Celebration Foundation, and Boston illustrator Lisa Jeanne Graf in 1997. Flag symbols reflect significant Juneteenth elements:The blast outlining the star, inspired by a nova, symbolizes a new beginning for all African Americans. Black Americans face new prospects and potential with the arc. The red, white, and blue flag reminds enslaved people and their descendants they are Americans.
