This adult unisex t-shirt features a photograph of Melvin Charles and Gleason T. Jackson holding the Black American Heritage Flag outside the Union County Courthouse in Elizabeth, New Jersey (1967). Originally photographed during the Civil Rights era, this moment captures the introduction of a new emblem of Black unity, legacy, and cultural pride. The flag’s vibrant red, black, and gold colors have been carefully restored and enhanced in this version, with the image edited, cropped, and colorized to highlight the symbolic elements. The red represents the blood shed in the struggle for freedom, black stands for shared heritage, and gold embodies intellect, prosperity, and peace. The fig-leaf wreath and Moorish sword at the flag’s center symbolize leadership, strength, and historical roots—making this image both a historical document and a work of cultural art.
Made from 100% cotton, the shirt is soft, breathable, and designed for regular wear. It features a classic retail fit with side seams that hold their shape over time for lasting comfort and structure. Available in multiple sizes and colors. A meaningful piece for history lovers, cultural enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to honor FBA heritage with intention. Custom options available upon request.
