Two of my heroes (881 hits)

What else can I say about this pic, not only does it show two of the most influential people but as a bonus Ralph Abernathy looks on from the rear.

A Little Known Black History Fact:

Ivan Butcher II, Harlem born Artist, designed and
copyrighted in 1975, The Black Evolutionary American
Flag, with the Library of Congress.

With the approaching Bi-Centennial, Butcher realized
that the Media was ignoring a Legacy of Black
(African Americans) accomplishments made into
the progress of this Nation, not to exclude the Indians
(Native Americans)

As an Artist compelled to create a symbol, that would
express the Contributions that African Americans have
made, he designed a Flag. Inspired by words from one of
Malcolm X's speeches, for us as an oppressed people
not to disrespect the American Flag but instead create
our own, which then was advocating a nation within a
nation.

Along with the threat of Separatism and the fact that
Evolution sounded too much like Revolution are the major
reasons for The Flag not receiving national recognition
from the Media.

Today the flag is named, Flag of Progress ( slogan:
Unity is Progress)
