A 17-Year-Old Girl Designed the Modern American Flag#facts #historyshorts #history #historicalmyths

You won't believe it-but the modern 50-star American flag was designed by a 17-year-old high school student for a school project in 1958! 😱

Robert G. Heft created the flag before Alaska and Hawaii were even official states. His teacher gave him a B–, but Robert made a bold promise:
👉 "If the government accepts my design, will you raise my grade?"

Guess what? President Eisenhower picked it! And that school project? It became the official flag of the United States. 🇺🇸

Now that's what we call extra credit! 😎
