The song "Black Starliner" by Fred Locks is a powerful anthem that captures the spirit of the Rastafarian movement and the desire for repatriation. Released in 1975, the song was co-written by Fred Locks and Owen Goode, with Goode providing the idea and encouragement for Locks to embrace his Rastafarian faith.
The song's chorus, "Black man you're going back home," resonates with the longing for a return to Africa, a dream that Garvey's Black Star Line aimed to fulfill. The song's release marked a significant moment in the history of reggae music and the Rastafarian movement, becoming a symbol of hope and a rallying cry for those seeking to reconnect with their African roots. #MarcusGarvey #UNIA
