About the flag:

 

"Marcus Garvey designed the African American flag, which looked like the Italian flag, except that it is red, black, and green. But it is so abstract, so pure, that the masses were frightened by it. I made my flag because I felt that they needed one like the U.S. flag but with black stars instead of white ones." — David Hammons

The colors and symbols of David Hammons’s now-iconic flag symbolically merge the red, black, and green colors of Marcus Garvey’s pan-African flag and the stars and stripes of the American flag. His commingling of colors and symbols of both flags simultaneously reference Black pride and heritage and the ways African Americans have celebrated freedom while confronting America’s unfulfilled promises.
