Because we're watching "Cool Runnings". LOVE THIS MOVIE!!
When I visited several years ago, a tour guide (who was GREAT) said the colors were because of the colors of different stages of the banana. I loved that answer.
But I guess not..
The flag of Jamaica was officially adopted on August 6, 1962.
The black is symbolic of hardships suffered in the past, green represents the fertile land, and yellow the shining sun. In addition, black, green and yellow are Pan-African colors, and pay tribute to Jamaica's significant African heritage.
