Just in case you didn't know, the u.s. american flag was put together by young women and young girls. One of those girls was a black teenager named: Grace Wisher. It's unfortunate that the girl (black girl) was kept secret from the books of history. In this video, we reveal a little more detail about Grace's story. It goes to show how foundational black americans built the country known as the United States of America and the powers that be try their best to keep facts a secret. Enjoy!
