History & Meaning of the Antigua & Barbuda Flag
This flag was formally recognized on February 27, 1967, in commemoration of self-government for the islands of Antigua and Barbuda. This winning design by Sir Reginald Samuel was chosen out of a competition that over 600 people entered.
The colors have special significance: Black celebrates the African ancestry of the local population, blue symbolizes hope, and red conveys the spirit of the people. The rising sun represents the dawning of a new era, under which the stripes of blue and white depict the seas and coasts of the Caribbean islands.
