Possibly, the black star passed to the flag of Ghana from the flag of steamship company «Black Star Line», participating in 1919-1922 in an action on the transportation of black colonists back in Africa (this action became a part of the public motion of the black population of America «Back, to Africa»).
The territory of Ghana is located in the subequatorial belt of the North hemisphere, in the area of savannah and rarely forests (the greater part of the country) and also of tropical forests. The banks are mainly low, flat, and sandy, with lagoons. A coastline is cut up poorly; the natural harbours are absent; there is permanent strong surf. |
