AN EAST Oxford man has set out to celebrate the city’s rich cultural diversity and bring people together by creating a flag to promote racial unity. Amir Steve Ali designed and paid for the flag which carries greetings and messages of peace in seven languages around a globe supported by a sea of hands of different skin tones. He hopes to fly his ‘unity flag’ from a pole or lamp post on Cowley Road, and has asked the city council for permission. The father-of-three, who works at the Rice Box restaurant on Cowley Road, said: “I am not a councillor or community leader, just a member of the public – but I wanted to do something to bring people together and bring a smile to people’s faces.”
