STATE OF ARKANSAS

All Out 4 God Ministry
"Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves."
James 1:22

The official state flag of Arkansas was chosen in a design contest in 1913; the winner was Miss Willie
Kavanaugh Hocker of Wabbaseka. The flag's design was finalized in 1926. The diamond shapes in the center
represent the diamond gemstone, because Arkansas is the only state in the USA where diamonds have been
found. Since Arkansas was the twenty-fifth state to join the Union, there are 25 white stars around the
diamond. The three blue stars in the lower part of the center represent Spain, France and the United States,
the countries that have ruled Arkansas. The blue star in the upper center represents the Confederacy, of
which Arkansas was a member.
