"We’re grateful for the opportunity to acknowledge the influence of the ideas of Marcus Garvey on our own struggle for independence as a nation. Some of which have been immortalised as symbols of our nationhood, such as the Black Star Line, the Black Stars, which is the name of the national football team, and note also the rising black star in our national flag."
