The Black American Heritage Flag (also known as the African American Heritage Flag) is an ethnic flag that represents the culture and history of African American people (also referred to as the Soulaan people). Each color and symbol on the flag has a significant meaning that was developed to instill pride in Black Americans/Soulaans, and provide them with a symbol of hope for the future in the midst of their struggle for Civil Rights.
