Unity

Unity - ❤️🖤💚 Red, Black and Green are the colors of the Pan-African flag designed by Marcus Garvey & members of his UNIA organization created in response to the enormously popular 1900 coon song "Every Race Has a Flag but the Coon." Red symbolizes noble blood that unites all people of African ancestry & shed for liberation, Black symbolizes the melanated skin color of African people, & Green symbolizes growth & the natural fertility of African soil. The flag was formally adopted in 1920, with African nations immediately following by integrating the colors in their national flags as a symbol of their sovereignty. The flag holistically represents the collective identity of Africans & descendants throughout the diaspora, worldwide liberation of Black people, & serves as an emblem of Unity and Black Pride.
