Reverse description
Three flames intertwined to symbolize the freedom of education, freedom to vote, and freedom to control one’s own destiny. The design was inspired by a quote from Dr. Martin Luther King: “They get the fire hose. They fail to realize that water can only put out physical fire. But water can never drown the fire of freedom.”
