The Black Eagle
The meaning of the Nationals’ symbol of strength, dignity, and determination.
Our Symbol of Strength,
Dignity, and Determination
The Black Eagle represents strength, vision, and resolve. Its broad wings suggest the ability to rise above obstacles, while its watchful gaze reflects the importance of seeing beyond immediate challenges toward a better future. For the Nationals Political Party, its strength means more than power: it means the courage to uphold principles, protect opportunity, and remain steady in the pursuit of justice.
As the Nationals’ mascot, the Black Eagle gives visual expression to the theme “United We Stand.” Its wings symbolize a party open to people of different backgrounds and political affiliations, united by shared concerns and respect for independent thought. With a focus on issues affecting African American communities and a welcome extended to everyone, the Nationals embraces the eagle as a symbol of collective strength, dignity, and determination.
