 It derived its name from the White Star Line, a line whose success Garvey felt he could duplicate.

 It was one among many businesses which the UNIA originated, such as the Universal Printing House, Negro Factories Corporation, and the widely distributed and highly successful "Negro World" weekly newspaper. Black Star (rap duo)

 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. Mos Def &amp; Talib Kweli Are Black Star
