The Pan-African flag (1920) was designed by Marcus Garvey with red (blood), black (people), and green (land). It inspired many African national flags. The Marcus Garvey version uses red, black, and green. The Ethiopian-inspired version uses green, yellow, and red.
Pan-African colours (green, gold/yellow, red) appear on many African national flags. These colours originated from Ghana's flag and the Pan-African movement. Represent African liberation and continental unity.
