Barack Obama Unity in Community USA Flag Made by You

Artist Muriel Stockdale has announced an invitation to all Americans to participate in the creation of a brand new E PLURIBUS FLAG to celebrate our President Elect Barack Obama. Participants are invited to send a 6 by 12 patch of red, white or blue cloth representative of their heritage. Each finished 3 by 6 patch will be included within a 36 foot wide 24 foot high US flag. About 7,000 pieces of cloth expressing every diverse culture living together in harmony here in the USA will be included. This project is an invocation for a new USA where we work together in harmony, where we willingly through the work of our hands stitch our future together to create something wonderful. The diversity of this country is a magnificent asset and we are already an example of how diverse people can live together with respect. This new E PLURIBUS flag is a project that celebrates, “Made in the USA”. It is a project that promotes respect for all cultural ideas. It is a project that shows patriotism can be of various forms and yet still red, white and blue. Most pointedly it celebrates harmony; like an orchestra we need diversity in order to produce the richest experience of the music of life.
