Beyond their official documentation, the design and colours of Grenada’s national flag show a strong relationship to Grenada’s history, particularly its African heritage, whether unintended or deliberate. While Prime Minister Eric Gairy and designer Anthony Conrad George disclaimed direct connections, the fundamental colours and field-division of the flag ultimately derive from Africa—the colours from Ethiopia and the adinkra “wind-blown” house symbol, representing resistance, from the Akan people—and from Grenada’s own history. The national flag has become a talisman to Grenada’s people, a symbol which symbolizes the resilience of the country and her people. This article may be the first systematic study of the design of the flag beyond the official documents.
