The Ghana National Flag was designed by Mrs. T. S Okoh,
a Ghanaian, to replace the flag of the United Kingdom of
Britain and Ireland upon the attainment of independence.
The flag was officially hoisted on March 6th 1957, replaced
shortly with version with white middle stripe 1964.01.01
to 1966.02.28, when this flag was reintroduced.
The flag is national flag on land and state ensign.

It uses Pan-African colours, with black star for being the
first independent African nation of the 20th century.

The flag of Ghana consists of the colours red, gold and
green in horizontal stripes with a five-pointed black star
in the centre of the gold stripe.
RED represents the blood of those who died in the
country's struggle for independence.
GOLD represents the mineral wealth of the country.
GREEN symbolises the country's rich forests.
THE BLACK STAR stands for the lone star of African
Freedom.
