City of Montgomery, Alabama
Montgomery County Alabama has a very distinct flag that exhibits the 'Yin-Yangic Phenoptype.' The left-host side is dominantly gray, while the right-fly side is mostly red. In the center is a diagonal blue stripe with 11 stars, which accidentally reflect the 11 official states of the Confederacy and 11 stripes of the Liberian Flag. Most of the founders of the African country of Liberia were born in the United States.Two crossed golden olive branches form an apparent circle, and within this circle the opposite colours of red and gray are juxtaposed with their opposite halves.

The first official Confederate congress met in Montgomery, AL in February 1861. Rosa Parks also challenged the American Apartheid system in Montgomery, giving birth to the Civil Rights Movement in December 1, 1955.
Like Yin and Yang there is a delicate balance within the spirit of Montgomery, AL that accordingly manifested itself in the city flag. This city has two special histories as the cradle to the civil rights movement and birthplace of the Confederacy. Usually people of colour can more easily tune into the tragedy and triumph of the civil rights movement, while many sons and daughters of the Confederacy can tune into the romantic and forlorn wish of the an aborted Nation of the South. However, there a is minority of coloured and Southern non-coloured who go against this supposed point of view.
