black ribbon
Symbol of grief
A black ribbon is a symbol of mourning or remembrance, worn or displayed to honor the dead or show solidarity with those grieving.
Black ribbons appear at funerals, memorials, and in the aftermath of tragedies.
Like other colored awareness ribbons, a black ribbon may also represent specific causes—melanoma awareness or opposition to gun violence: The town hall displayed a black ribbon after the shooting.
