| Summary | "Flag of the Free" by Edward Smyth Jones is a poem published in the early 20th century. This literary work expresses themes of patriotism and the enduring symbol of liberty represented by the national flag. The poem captures a sense of pride and resilience, particularly reflecting on the sacrifices made by African Americans in the pursuit of freedom. In "Flag of the Free," Jones conveys the significance of the flag as both a banner of hope and a testament to the struggles faced by those who fought for liberty. Through evocative imagery, the poem honors the contributions of Black soldiers and emphasizes the flag's role as a beacon for oppressed peoples. It intricately weaves historical references, portraying the bravery of figures like Crispus Attucks while affirming the enduring spirit of freedom that transcends time and geography. Ultimately, the poem calls for recognition of the flag as a symbol of hope for all humanity. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
