Description of the flag

I found the above image of the flag of the Village of Hempstead while browsing the web. It is a light blue field with the village seal in the middle. How it came to be in Nelson Mandela's hands I cannot say for sure- I cannot find any accompanying text to go with it. But it was part of a website of an HIV activist who separately mentions visiting Hempstead and meeting the mayor and visiting with Mandela, so there is probably some sort of logical explanation. The flag has a field of light blue and bears a light blue & white rendition of the village seal in the center. A differently colored version of the seal can be seen at www.villageofhempstead.org/.
Note that the Village of Hempstead is not to be confused with the Town of Hempstead nor the Town of North Hempstead, both in Nassau County, NY. The village is a subunit within the Town of Hempstead (it is quite common- and a bit confusing- in New York State for a village to share an identical name with the larger town within which it lies.)
