A day before Vice President Kamala Harris chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her presidential running mate, a social media
After a monthslong selection process, a Minnesota commission chose a new design for the state’s flag that was adopted May 11.
Prekker’s winning design entry included horizontal white, green and light blue stripes to the right of a white, eight-pointed star on a blue background. He said in athat the navy blue on the left was the abstract shape of Minnesota and the star in the navy blue represented the state’s motto:"L'etoile du Nord, meaning"star of the north,"and also represents a symbol of unity above a land of diversity.
The white and green horizontal stripes were removed because they cluttered the design, which allowed the flag to better"focus on what's really unique about Minnesota: our waters," he said. There is no reference to Somalia or the state’s Somali population in the commission’s report describing what each of the flag’s elements represent. The star"also represents many cultures over time and across the globe," the report said, adding that the star"has been used extensively in quilting by both Indigenous people and some new immigrants."An X post claims Walz changed the Minnesota flag to resemble Somalia’s flag.
