Why the colors red, black and green?
Garvey Nation is inspired by Marcus Garvey who created the red, black and green flag to represent all Black people. In August 1920, he held a convention in New York City and thousands of Black people attended from countries all over the world. Delegates from 25 countries voted and declared "That the colors, Red, Black and Green, be the colors of the Negro race" (see Declaration of Rights #39).
Furthermore, it was declared that "Red is the color of the blood which men must shed for their redemption and liberty; black is the color of the noble and distinguished race to which we belong; green is the color of the luxuriant vegetation of our Motherland."
We honor Marcus Garvey by having red, Black and green as the official colors of Garvey Nation.
Why is Garvey Nation so awesome?
We get that question a lot 😊. It's simple: We are a team of Black people who are fiercely determined to finish what Marcus Garvey started. We are endowed with melanin, united by mother Africa, inspired by Marcus Garvey, blessed by the Creator and fueled by the love of our ancestors.
