THE MEANINGS OF THE COLORS RED, GOLD (YELLOW), & GREEN ( AND SOMETIMES) BLACK IN PAN-AFRICAN FLAGS

Excerpt #1 
From https://medium.com/illumination-curated/why-most-african-flags-use-the-red-yellow-and-green-colors-61e90d6164c  Why Most African Flags Use the Red, Yellow, and Green Colors?

The Untold Story Behind Most African Flags by Bisi Media, Feb. 22, 2021
""On October 11th, 1897, a year after Ethiopia defended itself from Italian colonization at the Battle of Adwa, Emperor Menelik II authorized the creation of a flag containing a rectangular tri-color from top to bottom: red, yellow, and green.

[...]

These three colors red, green, and yellow with the inclusion of black will later be known as the Pan-African colors.

Although the meaning of the individual colors used in a country’s flag may differ from country to country; the countries of the flags that make use of the Pan-African colors have similar meaning with green representing the unique nature of the continent having good land for agriculture, red representing the blood, and common heritage of Africans during the fight against oppression from colonialism, yellow representing the wealth of Africa, and finally, black which signifies the color of the people."...

Excerpt #2
From https://blogs.umass.edu/wbdubois/2022/09/13/the-colors-of-pan-african-solidarity/ The Colors of Pan-African Solidarity, 2022
"The Pan-African flag was created in 1920 to represent people of the African Diaspora and to symbolize black liberation in the United States. As flags symbolize the union of governance, people, and territory, this flag was created to give Black people in the U.S., that is to say New Afrikans, in the Americas (Cubans, Jamaicans, Colombians, etc.) and the world over a symbol that unifies the Diaspora. This tri-color flag consists of three equal horizontal bands colored Red, Black, and Green.

Red: the blood that unites all people of Black African ancestry, and shed for liberation;

Black: for the people whose existence as a nation, though not yet a nation-state, is affirmed by the existence of the flag;

Green: the abundant and vibrant natural wealth of Africa, the Motherland; youth, hope.

Since its existence, a number of African nations have adopted the colors as a symbol of sovereignty and unity. It has also been adopted by several Black organizations that carry on the fight towards justice and liberation for Black people. Gold or yellow, representing peace and harmony, has also been associated with pan-African solidarity as inspired by the flag of Ethiopia that Emperor Menelik had made on 11 October 1897, a year after Ethiopia decisively defeated the Kingdom of Italy at the Battle of Adwa,"...

A VERSE FROM CHRONIXX'S "HERE COMES TROUBLE" SONG THAT REFERS TO THE COLORS RED, GOLD, AND GREEN
..."Waving the banner red, green and gold
It is such a honor profficie’s unfold
Discovered on stones, an trees, an scrolls
And even in the stories that Jesus told
Rasta youth must inherit the earth

Rasta recruiting soldiers coming from near an far i choose
Executing Selassie-I works and the Rastafari truths

LYRICS FOR "WAR"
(Bob Marley)

[Verse 1]

Until the philosophy which hold one race
Superior and another Inferior
Is finally
And permanently
Discredited
And abandoned
Everywhere is war
Me say war

[Verse 2]

That until there are no longer
First-class and second-class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes
Me say war

[Verse 3]

That until the basic human rights
Are equally guaranteed to all
Without regard to race
Dis a war

[Verse 4]

That until that day
The dream of lasting peace
World citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued
But never attained
Now everywhere is war
War

[Verse 5]

And until the ignoble and unhappy regime
That hold our brothers in Angola
In Mozambique
South Africa
Sub-human bondage
Have been toppled
Utterly destroyed
Well, everywhere is war
Me say war

[Chorus]

War in the east
War in the west
War up north
War down south

 [Verse 6]
War, war
Rumors of war
And until that day
The African continent
Will not know peace
We Africans will fight, we find it necessary
And we know we shall win
As we are confident
In the victory
Of good over evil

[Outro]
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil
Good over evil, yeah!
Good over evil
Good over evil, yeah!

 Here's an excerpt of the information about this song that is posted on that page
.
Written by stoodarabo and three others

“War” is a song recorded and made popular by Bob Marley. It first appeared on Bob Marley and the Wailers' 1976 Island Records album, Rastaman Vibration, Marley’s only top 10 album in the USA. The lyrics are almost literally derived from a speech made by Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I before the United Nations General Assembly in 1963 : His Majesty’s UN Address Haile Selassie I gave the “War” speech on October 4, 1963, calling for world peace at the 1963 U.N. Conference in New York City. This historical speech was spoken a few weeks after the Organization of African Unity (OAU) was founded in Ethiopian capital city Addis Ababa where Selassie chaired a summit meeting gathering almost every African head of state. For the first time in history, a head of state could therefore speak in the name of Africa with full legitimacy before the U.N. General Assembly. In the original speech, Selassie urged U.N. officials and country representatives to disarm nuclear weapons, and to end international exploitation (specifically with Africa).

INFORMATION ABOUT CLINTON FEARON
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton_Fearon
"Clinton Fearon (born 13 January 1951) is a Jamaican reggae singer and musician. He has lived in Seattle, Washington since 1987.

Clinton Fearon was born near Kingston, and quickly moved to St. Catherine, a rural Jamaican province. Fearon was heavily influenced by the music found at his local Seventh-day Adventist church. He returned to Kingston at age 16, where he founded his first band, The Brothers. Errol Grandison, who first encountered Fearon through his work with The Brothers, quickly offered him a chance to replace David Webber as the third member of The Gladiators.[1] He joined the group in 1969, first as a singer and then as a bass player and background vocalist after the departure of both Grandison and David Webber. He remained with the group until 1987, often appearing as the leader on songs including "Chatty Chatty Mouth," "Rich Man Poor Man," "Get Ready" and "Let Jah Be Praised". During these years, he also worked as a session-man for a range of artists, including Coxsone, Lee Perry, Joe Higgs, Yabby You, Joseph Hookim and Prince Tony Robinson.

By the late 1980s, Fearon began to feel artistically crowded after nearly two decades of playing with the same band. As such, Fearon left the band and settled in Seattle, Washington following the Gladiators' 1987 American tour in order to launch his solo career. His first project in the United States, The Defenders, enjoyed a moderate success with the EP "Rock Your Bones" released in 1989. The group was short-lived, and disbanded in 1992.

 In 1994, Fearon reorganized his musical vision by forming The Boogie Brown Band. The group's debut album, "Disturb the Devil," marks the beginning of Fearon's successful solo career

[…]

 Clinton Fearon splits his time between Seattle and France, and continues to tour with The Boogie Brown Band. His 2012 album Heart And Soul reached number 20 of the World Music Charts Europe in August 2012.[2] In 2016 he released the album This Morning.[3] "

LYRICS: "RICH MAN POOR MAN BEGGAR MAN, THIEF
The rich man poor man beggar man thief

Everyone claim that them are the chief

The rich man buy the poor man's life

The poor man take away the beggar man's wife

Don't cry my brothers

Don't cry my sisters

Tears won't change the situation

It's just a form, a form of reaction

If you step on fire, fire burn you

If you play with puppy, puppy lick your mouth

So stand up strong, you got to know where you belong,

Say the weak ones now will soon become strong

 

Hey, everything will soon be okay

As soon as the war is over

Jah children will be free to come over

Singing and dancing ready to take over

Have some faith, have a little faith

 

Hey, everything will soon he okay

As soon as the war is over

Jah children will be free to come over

Singing and dancing ready to take over

Have some faith, have a little faith
