The insignia of the Society of the First African Families of English America is a very important symbol to honor our ancestors and their contributions to the founding of our nation and should be worn with pride.

The insignia is an oval shape with a center design of a representative slave ship sailing the ocean waters as part of the Atlantic Slave Trade surrounded by seven tobacco leaves on the left and six cotton leaves to the right representing the cash crops that required our ancestors free labor from 1619 to 1865, and the thirteen colonies in which they lived. The medal’s color of gold is to recognize the humble circumstances in which our ancestors began, and the great wealth generated from their labor. The color blue is to honor the royal bloodlines of our captured ancestors and their descendants who live today. The mighty eagle protects and clutches our insignia that represents strength, divinity, liberty, and democracy as sought by our ancestors and the bright North star above the turbulent waters as they preserved for freedom. The bright North star also shines on their descendants who have researched, documented and honor their contributions for the many generations to come. The insignia and description designed and written by founder Ric Murphy.
