Kwame Nkrumah, the first president of Ghana, wrote in his autobiography that of all the literature he had studied, the book that did more than any other to inspire him was the "Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey, or Africa for the Africans". Nkrumah went on to name Ghana's national shipping line the "Black Star Line", while there's a Black Star Square in Accra, and a black star in the Ghanaian flag. The national football team is also nicknamed the Black Stars.
