North Carolina's Flag

Our State's Motto
North Carolina's Flag
Tar Heels

esse quam videri
The General Assembly of 1893(chapter 145) adopted the State's motto and directed that these words with the date "20 May, 1775," be placed with our Coat of Arms upon the Great Seal of the State.
Look into the history of our flag…
There's more than one version as to why we're called Tar Heels…
Translation: "To be
rather than to seem"
