Flag Detail
On the Liberian flag, eleven horizontal stripes representing the eleven signatories of the 1847 Liberian Declaration of Independence replace the traditional red and black color pattern. Six red and five white stripes also help to identify them. Up in the left corner sits a blue square with a white star. Bravery, moral excellence, purity, and simplicity—the red and white stripes symbolize these things. The white star is the first sovereign black state in Africa; the blue square marks African unity.
