Annin Flagmakers Reflects on the Symbolism of the American Flag Amid Political Divides
Annin Flagmakers, the oldest and largest manufacturer of the American flag in the United States, continues to produce flags that have marked significant historical moments. Located in South Boston, Virginia, the company employs seamstresses who work long hours to meet the demand for flags, especially during the Fourth of July season. The flags have been used in various contexts, from presidential inaugurations to space missions. Despite the flag's evolving symbolism amid political divides, the workers at Annin maintain a personal connection to their craft, viewing the flag as a representation of freedom and personal history.
