At a Zoom meeting on June 10 - 2020: Marcus Garvey @ 80: Moving Towards A Unifying African Identity - attendees overwhelmingly voted for the use of the four band Global African Quad Flag. The results of a poll at the end of the meeting was 81% for the four band and 19% for the 5 band, which has two black bands, each representing Africans of the continent and of the diaspora.
The 5 band version was an addition to the original 4 band, which came out of the 2014 100th anniversary commemoration of the founding of the Universal Negro Improvement Association-African Communities League, organised by TAOBQ (The African Or Black Question) and partners in London.
The African Global Quad Flag combines the four common colours of the two pan-African colours - Ethiopian/Rastafari's green, gold and red, and the UNIA's red, black and green.
Going forward, TAOBQ and The African Coalition advocates the use of the Global African Quad colour to visually represent issues of African interest or concern, particularly Afriphobia.
