Flags of the World - Sierra Leone

The national flag of Sierra Leone was adopted in 1961, Sierra Leone's independence year.  The colours of the flag carry cultural, political, and regional meanings. The green alludes to the country's natural resources, specifically agriculture and its mountains.  The white epitomizes unity and justice.  The blue evokes the natural harbour of Freetown, the capital city of Sierra Leone, as well as the hope of contributing to world peace through its usage.

Thank you Alena!

From Freetown, Sierra Leone

Ebenezer Methodist Church is an historical Methodist church based in Freetown, Sierra Leone which was founded by the original African American founders of the Colony of Sierra Leone. Ebenezer Primary School was located in the basement of the church. Ebenezer was founded by wealthy Nova Scotian settler merchants who had broken away from the Rawdon Street Methodist Church following a dispute.

Thanks so much Lu Jin and Abbas!
