Here's a suggestion for a new Georgia Flag -- no Stars & Bars, just the seal and Brother Ray:
Ray Charles has already been declared a national treasure. Why not use him as Georgia's official symbol? He was born and raised here. He has "seen" the state transformed from the cradle of Jim Crow to a Mecca for all races, religions, and ethnicities. His music (true R&B) has its roots in the South. Charles's personal story is one of individual brilliance shining through in spite of adversity. Although the design is fun, it utilizes the official seal, cropped so that the state motto "Wisdom, Justice and Moderation" is made prominent.
