Flag
Description
divided diagonally from the lower hoist side by a broad
black band bearing two white, five-pointed stars; the black
band is edged in yellow; the upper triangle is green, the
lower triangle is red; green signifies the island's fertility,
red symbolizes the struggles of the people from slavery,
yellow denotes year-round sunshine, and black represents
the African heritage of the people; the white stars stand
for the islands of Saint Kitts and Nevis, but can also express
hope and liberty, or independence and optimism
