What are Ghanaians known for?
Gold, cocoa and more recently oil form the cornerstone of Ghana's economy and have helped fuel an economic boom. The country is named after the great medieval trading empire that was located northwest of the modern-day state until its demise in the 13th century.
Ghana is also the second-largest producer of gold in Africa. In fact, before 1957, Ghana was commonly known as the Gold Coast because of its availability of gold along the rivers Ankobra and Volta. Lake Volta, found in the Volta Region of Ghana is known as the world's biggest man-made lake.
the Black Stars
How did Ghana get the Black Stars nickname? The name is inspired by Marcus Garvey's 1920s shipping line of the same title, which aimed to take black Americans back home to Africa and construct transatlantic connections among people of African descent on both sides of the Atlantic.
