The Flag of the Hispanicity displays a white background with three purple crosses and a rising sun.

The flag was designed by Ángel Camblor, a captain of the Uruguayan Army.

He was the winner of a contest organized by Juana de Ibarbourou in 1932.

The flag was first raised in Montevideo, at the Independence Square, on 12 October 1932.

[2][3] The flag was officially adopted as the Flag of the Americas—in this usage representing, besides Hispanic Americans, also Anglo-Americans, Franco-Americans (the Québécois, Haitians, Guadeloupians, Martininqians, and French Guianians), Luso-Americans, Dutch Americans (the inhabitants of the Dutch Antilles and Suriname), and Greenlanders—by all member countries of the Pan-American Conference at their Seventh Assembly in 1933.
