Our Winchester Unitarian Society proudly flies three flags to underscore our shared UU values.
Perhaps you have seen the Pan-African flag with its broad horizontal bars of red, black, and green, giving a voice to the Black diaspora spread across the world far too often against their will, including right here in our United States.
Each bar carries rich symbolism:
Red for the blood that unites all people of Black African ancestry and was shed for liberation
Black for the people whose existence as a nation, although not a nation state, is affirmed by the existence of this flag
Green for the vibrant and abundant natural wealth of Africa, the Motherland.
What flags do you see flying in our neighborhoods? Be curious: Have a listening and learning conversation, if possible; then check out the flag’s history and symbolism. Yet another intergenerational exploration?
