The+Flag

Flag The **flag of __[|Ghana]__** was designed by Mrs. [|Theodosia Okoh] to replace the [|flag of the United Kingdom] upon attainment of independence in 1957. It was flown until 1959, and then reinstated in 1966. It consists of the [|Pan-African colours] of red, yellow, and green, in horizontal stripes, with a black five-pointed star in the centre of the gold stripe. The Ghanaian flag was the first [|African] flag after the [|flag of Ethiopia] to feature these colours.
