Flag
When the Ghana-Guinea Union was formed, its flag was like the flag of Ghana, but with two black stars. When the Union was renamed Union of African States, its flag was specified to be a flag like that of Ghana "with as many black stars as there are members". So when Mali joined the Union the flag had three stars. The announcement of the Union's flag did not specify the arrangement of the stars; while shown here in a line, it is not known whether this, or possibly another arrangement, was actually used.

Famous quotes containing the word flag:
“Up rose old Barbara Frietchie then,
Bowed with her fourscore years and ten;
Bravest of all in Frederick town,
She took up the flag the men hauled down;”

“By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“—Here, the flag snaps in the glare and silence
Of the unbroken ice. I stand here,
The dogs bark, my beard is black, and I stare
At the North Pole. . .
And now what? Why, go back.
Turn as I please, my step is to the south.”
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
