The Pan-African flag—also known as the UNIA flag, Afro-American flag, Black Liberation flag, and various other names—is a tri-color flag consisting of three equal horizontal bands of (from top down) red, black and green. The Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA-ACL) formally adopted it on August 13, 1920 in Article 39 of the Declaration of the Rights of the Negro Peoples of the World, during its month-long convention at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Variations of the flag can and have been used in various countries and territories in the Americas to represent Garveyist ideologies.

Very important, given the president’s and many of his supporters’ hatred of people from African countries, which the president called s-holes. He put travel bans on some. Good on the governor.

Doesn’t the SOS fly the flag on top the State House?

Well at least he didn’t hug the flag. That would be over the top.

Are Garveyist ideologies and social equity the same?

Physically yes, but I believe the Governor can order what is flown, or how it is flown (half staff, etc.).
One good thing about this, is any would-be vandal would have a doozy of a time getting up there to mess with it. Anyone who has taken the arduous trip up to that flagpole will know what I am talking about.

I like our new Governor…more every day…in nearly every way.
I’ve never said that about any Governor… in my life.

Per Google, Marcus Garvey believed all blacks should go back to Africa. Maybe Trump is a Garvey disciple.

The same flag flies daily at Malcolm X College in Chicago.

Pundit.
Maybe he should drape it over his shoulder like Olympic champion at next presser…

“Not much pandering going on here.”
Are you saying some types of flags are more pandering than other types of flags? How so?
