A banner accompanied American Czechs to Prague in 1885. The second life of the banner was its performance on the day of the declaration of Czechoslovak independence in Prague. The director of the National Theatre, Jaroslav Kvapil, hanged it and so greeted the procession of citizens leaving the Municipal House, where the declaration took place, to the National Theatre.
