Ghana Independence Day 2018

The Republic of Ghana declared its autonomy at midnight on March 6th, 1957, beginning a new chapter in the long and storied history of the region. Ghana's abundant natural resources have beckoned kings and warriors for hundreds of years, dating back to the 9th Century. The name Ghana itself means "Warrior King" in the Soninke language.

In the capital city of Accra, the nation celebrates Independence Day with a patriotic parade of school children, civil servants, and the armed forces. The President gives a speech of solidarity, and above it all flies the flag created in 1957, with its central black star representing the nation’s people. The red band symbolizes the journey to independence, and the yellow and green bands the land’s rich natural resources.

Happy Independence Day, Ghana!
