A national flag is a flag that signifies and symbolizes a particular country or territory. Flags are available in a variety of sizes, styles, and designs, each of which indicates something specific about the country or people that the flag represents.
The Ghanaian flag is a multicolored flag consisting of three colors: red, gold, and green, which are arranged sequentially. The colors are a depiction of the country’s struggle for independence as well as a symbol of the country’s abundant natural riches, which are a result of the country’s geographical placement amid other African countries.
A star in the sky fashioned in black color within the center, taking up the majority of the gold color’s center coverage, makes for a striking combination of colors.
Who Created Ghana’s National Flag?
The Ghanaian national flag was adopted on March 6, 1957, the day after the country gained independence from the United Kingdom. It was first flown for the first Independence Day celebration as a symbol of independence following several decades of British colonial authority in the old Gold Coast, now known as Ghana.
Theodosia Salome Okoh, born on June 13th, 1922, was the designer of the Ghanaian national flag. Theodosia Salome Okoh was the daughter of the clergyman, the Reverend Emmanuel Victor Asihene, who doubles as the former leader of the Presbyterian Church in Ghana.
