Let’s Replace the Massachusetts State Flag! (Central Square)
Why does the Massachusetts State flag matter? Learn about the history and significance of the Massachusetts state seal, flag, and motto from Sage Carbone and David Shane Lowry. Think more deeply about your community's symbols and better understand why our state flag must be changed. This discussion is inspired by the Massachusetts Seal, Flag, and Motto Advisory Commission’s open call to artists, historians, educators, students, and members of the public to participate in the effort to redesign the state’s seal, flag, and motto. Established by the Legislature in 2024, the Commission is tasked with developing and recommending new symbols to represent the state through a statewide public process. Learn more about the Massachusetts Seal, Flag, and Motto Advisory Commission’s open call to artists.

brond@knizer FYI, I’m only seeing this Saturday evening. This is not the first time I’ve been frustrated that these wonderful events that you research and publish have already ended by the time I see them. Not sire if this is a masto limitation or what—I’m on every day—but it would be so much more useful for these to appear a week before
