#Gullah #Geechee lesson on what our flag means

Black is for the #African people

The black inverted triangle symbolize self-determination

The Haint Blue is a #hoodoo #rootwork color of protection from bad spirits #Haints are bad spirits so #HaintBlue protects us from them

Green is for Land

Gold represents the Sun

The #rice crop represents our ancestors agricultural knowledge

Crab represents Unity, Loyalty and Self Sufficiency

Spears represent the #GullahWars
