The Black Star Line was a shipping company founded in 1919 by Marcus Garvey, aimed at promoting trade and transportation between Africa and the African diaspora. It was part of Garvey's broader vision for Black nationalism and economic empowerment, encouraging Black people to establish their own businesses and connect with their heritage. The company faced numerous challenges, including financial difficulties and legal issues, ultimately leading to its decline by the mid-1920s. Despite its short existence, the Black Star Line remains a significant symbol of the early 20th-century Pan-African movement.
