In "That Flag," Tameka Fryer Brown explores themes of identity, heritage, and belonging through the eyes of a young girl named Tameka. As she navigates her experiences in a contemporary school environment, Tameka grapples with the meanings and emotions tied to her family's history, particularly the significance of the flag that represents her culture. With a backdrop of a school project that stirs up discussions about race and representation, the story vividly illustrates Tameka's journey toward understanding her place in the world and embracing her roots, ultimately fostering a sense of pride and community.
