Ross Flags and Design LLC was launched from Maria's simple desire to be able to have a flag that honors Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to display outside of her home and to be displayed at the schools her children attend.

She created and designed our flag with the support of her loving family, in 1998. I have a flag for every holiday/season and display them proudly outside my home. Year after year she would ask herself “why isn’t there an option or choice to purchase a flag that honors Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.?” A flag that can be displayed both on the national holiday honoring Dr. King’s birthday, and during Black History Month.

Our dream of creating a flag, honoring the life and teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., has been in our constant thoughts for over a decade. We are proud that it is now a reality. Our family knows first hand what it feels like to have the American dream shattered merely because of the color of your skin. Not long ago, we were victims of a hate crime. In the early morning hours of Juneteenth 2000, we discovered a charred seven-foot cross burning in our front yard. Juneteenth should be a day to observe African American Emancipation instead that day will forever remain in our hearts as the day “hate” came knocking on our front door.

Our hope is that by displaying Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. flags throughout the country, it will help raise awareness, open up dialogue, and promote the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We see the flag as a visual aid or tool in promoting peace during marches, parades, and civil rights rallies. We hope every home, school, and business will proudly display this flag.

Ross Flags and Design LLC is a family owned business. We are proud to offer a complete line of flags and accessories.

We feel truly blessed to have this opportunity and thank you for sharing our vision.

Best regards,

Dwayne & Maria Landry Ross
