On September 14, 2024, the revised Soulaan Flag was officially unveiled, marking a milestone in Black American cultural symbolism.
The Soulaan Flag has two official versions.
VERSION 1:
1. Sword & Wreath
The central icon fuses a Civil War Navy cutlass with a Buffalo Soldier saber, representing tempered steel, victory, and rooted soil. It is enveloped by a indigo wreath, a native herb of warding, protection, and remembrance. Together, they form a three-pronged trident symbolizing the holy trinities of existence:
VERSION 2:
1. Sword & Wreath
The central icon fuses a Civil War Navy cutlass with a Buffalo Soldier saber, representing tempered steel, victory, and rooted soil. It is enveloped by a sassafras wreath, a native herb of warding, protection, and remembrance. Together, they form a three-pronged trident symbolizing the holy trinities of existence:
- The Self: Breath • Emotion • Attention
- The Core: Mind • Body • Spirit
- The Convergence: Solar Self • Dreambody • Earthform
- The Timeline: Past • Present • Future
- The Ecology: Sun • Soulaan • Earth
2. The Indigo Field (The Memory Pigment)
A deep indigo tone overlays the stars, serving as a visual correction of history. It honors erased historical figures like Grace Wisher—the Melanated youth who helped stitch the original Star Spangled Banner along side the uncounted artisans who dyed, stitched, and built the foundation of this land. What was strategically hidden is made visible and sovereign.
3. The 13 Stripes (The Cosmic Bridge)
Thirteen is recognized not as a colonial marker, but as a cosmic and harmonic number. These stripes correspond directly to the 13-month Soulaan Harmonic Calendar, acting as a living bridge back to natural time:
- Red Stripes: Blood memory, survival fire, and ancestral will.
- White Stripes: Bone light, purified remembrance, and clarity after trial.
- The Cycle: In this system, 13 marks the exact point of completion and re-emergence—a perpetual return to Source.
4. The 50 Stars (The Portals)
The stars represent fifty land-to-sky portals that were once sealed but are now observed. Numerologically, 5 + 0 = 5, representing the Solar Hierophant. In the Soulaan template, this is the Code Holder, the guardian of the pattern and keeper of truth that can never be permanently erased.

The result is a powerful visual emblem that speaks directly to Black American heritage, celebrating both historical resilience and contemporary pride.
A Symbol of Evolution
The journey from the original Soulaan Flag to its revised version is itself symbolic a reflection of collaboration, community input, and collective identity. The Soulaan Council’s decision to enhance the flag underscores the importance of ongoing dialogue and cultural evolution.
Today, as it waves proudly, the Soulaan Flag embodies not just Black Americans’ historical journey, but their future aspirations as well. It’s a symbol that inspires pride, unity, and an unwavering commitment to continue shaping history with courage and dignity.
The Soulaan Flag isn’t just fabric and color; it’s a living testament to an evolving narrative one of struggle, strength, and the relentless pursuit of freedom. So make bo mistake this isnt the “African American Flag” its the Soulaan Flag.
