-Bob Marley

In reference to Jamaica, Ethiopia, Africa, and Rastafarians, Red symbolizes the struggle for the liberation of Black people, Gold for wealth and resources particularly the mineral gold, and Green for the beauty and Vegetation of the promised land. In addition, Red, Gold/Yellow, Green, and black colors are synonymous with Africa, as the colors collectively represent the unification, pride, and struggles of African people in the continent and throughout the Diaspora.
