In Ben Hecht's "Gaily, Gaily," a collection of short stories about his
days in Chicago, 1910-1915, he describes the "Negro Knights of
Africa[n Freedom]," a Garvey-like group, with, natch, a flag. It's
blue, with a wide black stripe across its middle. Of course, a lot of
this book is fictional, but with actual events underlying it.
This story is "The Negress," found in the
collection "Gaily, Gaily" (1963). (Originally published as "Queen
Dido" in Playboy magazine, 1962.)
