Aye! In song and mimicry they have said, "Every race has a flag but the coon." How true! Aye! But that was said of us four years ago. Show me the race or the nation without a flag, and I will show you a race of people without any pride. In a 1927 report of a 1921 speech appearing in the Negro World weekly newspaper, Marcus Garvey was quoted as saying: This song has been cited as one of the three songs that "firmly established the term coon in the American vocabulary".
The flag was created in 1920 by members of UNIA in response to the " coon song" that became a hit around 1900, titled, " Every Race Has a Flag but the Coon". Sheet music for " Every Race Has a Flag but the Coon"
