Description
A beautiful morning at my grandson's 8th grade graduation, began with the beautiful flag of California waving in the breeze. Clouds floated by as the ceremony began.
Flag of California
Designed by William Todd (nephew of Mary Todd Lincoln, wife of Abraham Lincoln), the historic bear flag was raised at Sonoma, California in 1846 by American settlers in revolt against Mexican rule (officially adopted as the state flag of California in 1911)
The once common California grizzly bear (also the official state animal) portrays strength; the star represents sovereignty; the red color signifies courage; and the white background stands for purity.
