Soulaan Flag

The Soulaan flag's 13 red and white stripes represent the 13 original settlements only made possible by Soulaan Americans. Its 50 white stars on a blue background represent the 50 states in which we fought for to secure the democracy in which everyone enjoys. The Soulaan flag also recognizes the textile knitting, and indigo cultivation from Black Americans that makes this flag possible. We also have to highlight the incomparable Grace Wisher is most notably known for her credited involvement in the making of the American Flag. The flag is meant to reclaim our credit in the American Flag and remove the upholding of status quo to keep us hidden figures of our own history.

We also had to seal this flag with the fig wreath circled, and a blunted sword over the stars to pay homage to the Black American Heritage Flag symbolizing “the feeling of having pride and also knowing, when you have a blunted sword, when you blunt it you learn to curdling the earth”.

The Soulaan Flag pays reclaims our credit and involvement in American History, it does not replace the Black American Heritage Flag.

$5 African

A $5 African is a Black American (Soulaan) who adopts a generalized African identity—often shaped by white institutions, HBCU Pan-African studies, social media, or cultural clubs—without a personal or ancestral connection to specific African cultures, languages, or histories is seen as inadvertently supporting both Eurocentric and white supremacist agendas, as well as being encouraged by some Africans. This shift can dilute the unique heritage of Native Black Americans (descendants of U.S. chattel slavery/Emancipated). By embracing a broad “African” label, they may overlook the distinct history and culture of Soulaan, risking the erasure, or ethnocide, of their unique identity within the U.S. in favor of a generalized, often superficial, African identity.

Many Native Black Americans feel that the $5 African projection, where individuals adopt a generalized African identity without specific cultural or ancestral ties, is inadvertently supported by Africans who encourage this ideology, often welcoming others under a broad pan-African identity. However, this approach can unintentionally dilute the unique history of Soulaan and contribute to the erasure of their distinct heritage within the U.S.
