Detroit City Flag - Official Symbol of Michigan’s Largest City #3843303 (License: Personal Use)

The Detroit city flag is divided into four quadrants: blue with 13 white stars (representing original U.S. states), red with three gold lions (English heritage), white with six gold fleurs-de-lis (French influence), and red-and-white diagonal stripes (symbolizing the Detroit River). At center is the city seal depicting two women-Labor and Progress-with the mottoes “Speramus Meliora” and “Resurget Cineribus,” meaning “We hope for better things; it will rise from the ashes.”
