About the Flag and its original creator and mission. 

Forman’s sister-in-law, Yvonne Forman, a quilt-maker at the time, took Forman’s image and sewed it into flags.She gave one to  John Alley, one of the organizers of the secession movement, and started to distribute them on the Island. Soon, the popularity of these flags and their message took off.

Care Instructions:

• Outdoor flags can be hand-washed with warm water and a mild soap, then thoroughly rinsed and spread out to dry. These flags should be regularly washed to keep their bright colors. 

• Do not expose your flag to rain, snow or abnormally high winds.  These conditions will shorten its life considerably. Do not fly your flag where it could whip against rough surfaces, tree branches, wires, cables, etc.

• Do not fold or roll-up a wet or damp flag. Do not fly a wet flag.  This will cause excessive strain on the fabric and stitching, and will greatly reduce the life of your flag. 

• Trimming off and re-hemming torn or frayed ends will help extend the life of your flag.
