Researching the Ghana Flag Design: Top Resources
The Ghana flag (red-gold-green with a black star) was adopted 6 March 1957. To study its symbolism and creation:
- Ghana Embassy/Consulate: Often have printed brochures or can direct you to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
- Official Government Sites: ghana.gov.gh and the Ministry of Tourism, Arts & Culture pages.
- Academic Works: Books by historians like Adu Boahen or Kwame Arhin; journal articles on post-colonial symbolism.
- Reputable Online: Wikipedia (flag of Ghana), Flags of the World (FOTW), Britannica.
- Documentaries & Interviews: Search for footage with Theodosia Okoh (designer) or curators at the Ghana Museums and Monuments Board.
Cross-reference sources; early press coverage (March 1957) offers contemporary explanations of the colours and star.
