Flag Description: The flag was the winning entry in a local
competition that attracted 258 entries and was the work of a student,
Edrice Lewis. It was she who gave what is now the official interpretation
of the flag. The island of Nevis has a flag of its own, which is bright yellow with a stylized image of Nevis Peak. The national flag is in the canton. St. Kitts also has an ensign for the Coast Guard Explanation of Flag Colors: The two stars stand for hope and liberty, and the black symbolizes the African heritage of a major part of the population. The green represents the fertility of the land, the yellow the constant sunshine, and the red symbolizes the struggle to end slavery and colonialism. Credits: Caribbeanflags.com
