About the flag of Ghana

What it means: Red honors those who fought for independence, gold stands for mineral wealth, and green for forests and natural riches. The black star is a symbol of African freedom and unity.

Did you know? The black star was borrowed from the Black Star Line, a shipping company run by Marcus Garvey from 1919 to 1922.
