The Black Star of Africa is a black five-pointed star (★) symbolizing Africa in general and Ghana in particular. The Black Star Line, founded in 1919 by Marcus Garvey as part of the Back-to-Africa movement, modelled its name on that of the White Star Line, changing the colour from white to black to symbolise ownership by black people rather than white people. The black star became a symbol of Pan-Africanism and anti-colonialism. Described as the "Lodestar of African Freedom", the black star was used in 1957 by Theodosia Okoh in the design of the Flag of Ghana.〔Lentz 2008, p.11〕 ==Ghana== Ghanaians have come to regard the Black Star as a specific symbol of Ghana rather than of Africa in general.〔Lentz 2008, p.12. "Most contemporary Ghanaians, however, tend to interpret the Black Star as a uniquely Ghanaian symbol rather than one borrowed from an older pan-Africanist movement."〕 As well as on the flag, the star appears on the coat of arms; on the Black Star Gate in Black Star Square in the capital, Accra;〔 and on the Seat of State in Parliament, on which the President sits on ceremonial occasions.〔Lentz 2008, pp.3,11〕 The Ghana national football team is nicknamed the "Black Stars".
