Calle Ocho festival sets another world record with giant flag, Miami Herald, March 11
The idea of the “One World” flag came from Jencarlos Canela, the 22-year-old Cuban American actor and singer who was named the Carnival King this year. The project was done with the help of the International Rescue Committee, a nonprofit organization that helps refugees on five continents. “We want to represent a world without borders,” said Oasis Peña, IRC’s director of operations in Miami. “The flag forms a number 1, and that’s how we want to see the world.”
The multicolor flag of 250 feet long and 36 feet wide was composed of 422 flags from around the world. (Photo: IRC)
