103 years ago, Marcus Garvey created The Pan-African/Black Liberation flag.

Garvey was the father of the black nationalist and pan african movements, activist & founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA-ACL)

Color Meaning:

Red: the blood that unites all people of Black African ancestry, and shed for liberation;

Black: for the people whose existence as a nation, though not a nation-state, is affirmed by the existence of the flag.

Green: the abundant and vibrant natural wealth of Africa, the Motherland.

•••

Garvey fue el padre de los movimientos nacionalistas negros y panafricanos, activista y fundador de la Asociación Universal para el Mejoramiento de los Negros y la Liga de Comunidades Africanas (UNIA-ACL).

Significado de los colores

Rojo: la sangre que une a todas las personas de ascendencia africana y la que ha sido derramada para alcanzar la liberación.

Negro: para las personas cuya existencia como nación, aunque no como Estado-nación, se afirma por la existencia de la bandera.

Verde: la abundante y vibrante riqueza natural de África, la Madre Patria.

Kwame Brathwaite (1 January 1938 – 1 April 2023)

Throughout his six-decade career, Brathwaite harnessed the power of photography to recalibrate the public understanding of Blackness.

Brathwaite, who was largely inspired by the teachings and writings of Marcus Garvey and Carlos Cooks, held a 60-year photography career that popularized the “Black is Beautiful” movement in the 1960s and continued to empower African and African-American cultural expression and achievements throughout his lifetime.

In the 1950's, Lincoln was a cabaret singer whose cameo in a 1955 Jayne Mansfield film propelled her into the spotlight - in the film, Lincoln wore an iconic red dress originally worn by Marilyn Monroe in the movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. By the late 50's, Hollywood's desire to mold Lincoln into a siren starlet was at odds with the singer's own desire to embrace her natural beauty. During a time when studios ascribed to Eurocentric aesthetics, Lincoln's choice to wear a short Afro ran counter to the straight-haired, fair-skinned, prototypical femme fatale. In Black is Beautiful, Brathwaite's photos of the singer capture Lincoln's pivot from acting to jazz and her embrace of her natural, coily hair. The singer eventually married Max Roach, and in a symbolic shedding of her former image, Lincoln burned the Marilyn Monroe dress in an incinierator.
