Google Dooles 06.03.2021 01:34  Date: March 6, 2021 Today’s Doodle honors Ghana’s Independence Day and 64 years since the West African nation became a sovereign republic. At midnight on March 6, 1957, Ghana raised its red, yellow, and green striped flag in front of an estimated half a million people for the ceremony signaling the nation’s official transition to independence. The implications of Ghana’s independence made an international impact, as it gave hope to other countries in the region and around the world to realize their fight for sovereignty. Ghana’s flag continues to serve as a beacon of hope today with its symbolic colors and iconography. As depicted in today’s Doodle artwork, the red of the flag represents Ghana’s fight for freedom, the green signifies its bountiful forests, and the yellow symbolizes the natural mineral wealth found in the nation’s soil. Featured in the center of the flag is a five-pointed black star, a symbol of African unification and emancipation. Happy Independence Day, Ghana! Location: Tags: , , , ,
