The Ghana flag was flown until 1959, and then reinstated in 1966. It consists of the Pan-African colours of red, yellow, and green, in horizontal stripes, with a black five-pointed star in the centre of the gold stripe. The Ghanaian flag was the first African flag after the flag of Ethiopia to feature these colours.
The red represents the blood of those who died in the country’s struggle for independence, the gold represents the mineral wealth of the country, the green symbolises the country’s rich forests and natural wealth, and the black star stands for the lodestar of African freedom. The black star was adopted from the flag of the Black Star Line, a shipping line incorporated by Marcus Garvey that operated from 1919 to 1922 and gives the Ghana national football team their nickname, the Black Stars.
