The artwork and design was created by Rick Holland in Hanau, Germany in 2019, the colors Red, Black and Green were taken from the Kente colors. There are four flags: Servitude, Acknowledgement, Submission and Unification, each having a distinct design which tells a story of the transition of the Alkebulan American from the arrival to the U.S. in 1619 to begin forced servitude until the present day.
