Massachusetts is taking steps to update its state seal, motto, and flag, with a new commission overseeing public submissions until June 18. The goal is to narrow these to three options for further public hearings. Previous efforts by an earlier commission in 2021 did not result in concrete proposals, leading to the creation of the current commission. Officials emphasize the importance of these symbols in representing the state's history and values, looking for public sentiment to shape the final design recommendations due by July 29 for Governor Healey.
We all know that we have a really unique and important opportunity before us. The symbols we choose will not only represent history, but also our values and aspirations as a Commonwealth.
This is a once in a lifetime, once in multiple lifetimes, opportunity to represent the state.
