Computer nightmares! All revolving around my phone's Calendar, which I use in a thousand different ways but got erased when my phone's software updated. Arghhh! Just coming out of endless Apple phone calls and endless erasing of both laptop and phone and then restoring to various backups. Ultimately, I only lost the last two months of calendar entries which I can live with. In the meantig Big Youth's Screaming Target and Roy Ayers' Red, Black & Green both great. (Though even when I think about it, I don't know why it's called Red, Black & Green). And now I'm trying to not get too excited for the Neil Young. If he comes up with many more albums, it's going to be hard to argue anyone had a better 1970s.

Is this not why?

he pan-African flag (also known as the Afro-American flag, Black Liberation flag, UNIA flag, and various other names) is an ethnic flag representing pan-Africanism, the African diaspora, and/or black nationalism.[1][2][3] A tri-color flag, it consists of three equal horizontal bands of (from top down) red, black, and green.[4]

The flag was created as a response to racism against African Americans in 1920 with the help of Marcus Garvey.[5] The Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA-ACL) formally adopted it on August 13, 1920, in Article 39 of the Declaration of the Rights of the Negro Peoples of the World, during its month-long convention at Madison Square Garden in New York City.[6][7] Variations of the flag can and have been used in various countries and territories in the Americas to represent Garveyist ideologies.
