Red is for the blood that flows with each heart and vein, uniting us to share our joy and bear each other's pain . . .

Black is for our people and for the promise of our race, our struggle for absolute justice, and the hope that we embrace . . .

And Green is for the native plains where graceful creatures roam, the Motherland of bounty, we are proud to call our home . . .

Ron Daniels, Black World Today, 1999

"One of his greatest gifts and most enduring legacies to African people is sometimes referred to as the "Black Liberation Flag," the Red, Black and Green."

Pledge:

"We pledge allegiance to the Red, Black and Green,
Our flag,
The symbol of our eternal struggle,
And to the land we must obtain;
One nation of Black people,
With one God of us all,
Totally united in the struggle,
For Black love,
Black freedom,
And Black self determination."



And so it is written, and so it shall be done.

Ode to The Red, Black and Green

This Flag of Mine

by Amy Jacques Garvey

"Regardless of what is told of it,
Here's to this flag of mine
The Red, Black and Green
Hopes in its future bright
Africa has seen."
