Black Star Gate
The Black Star Gate is part of the Independence Square now known as the Black Star Square in Accra.[1] It is located at the center of the square where parades are held. The Black Star Gate is a monument topped by the Black Star of Africa. The five-pointed star represents Africa in general and particularly Ghana itself. It has the inscription "AD 1957" and "Freedom and Justice".[2][3] The Black Star Gate was commissioned by Kwame Nkrumah to indicate the country's supreme power to control its own affairs.[4]
