Okay, Buddy

The modern flag was adopted on 25 September 1930 by State law no. 704 to honor João Pessoa, the governor of Paraíba and then running mate of Getúlio Vargas, who was murdered by João Dantas [pt].[4] Getúlio Vargas and João Pessoa, natives of Rio Grande do Sul and Paraíba respectively, were part of the Liberal Alliance, which was a political alliance formed between the two states and Minas Gerais to run against the presidential nominee Júlio Prestes after he was nominated by Brazilian president Washington Luís as his successor. As both men were natives of the state of São Paulo, this went against the established practice of Milk coffee politics that saw the presidency largely alternate between São Paulo and Minas Gerais.[3][5]

The modern flag was officially used until the Brazilian Constitution of 1937 abolished the usage of all municipal and state symbols in favor of national ones. The state flag of Paraíba was only reinstituted by article 137 of the 1947 State Constitution of Paraíba and formally adopted on 30 August 1967 by State law no. 3489.[6][b]

The word négo on the flag was changed to be written as nego after the Spelling Reform of 1971

The word nego on the flag is the first person present tense of the Portuguese word negar (to refuse) and was said by João Pessoa when he refused to support the practice of Milk coffee politics and the candidacy of Júlio Prestes.[4][5] The red represents João Pessoa's blood and the black represents the struggle of the people of Paraíba after his murder.[7] Red and black were also the colors of the Liberal Alliance.[5]
