Black Unity is a composition and album by jazz saxophonist Pharoah Sanders, recorded and released in late 1971.

"[3] A review at Soundohm states: "Black Unity is a true highlight among Sanders' Avant-Garde articulations of Black cultural visions... Pharoah's Pan-African instrumentation and compositional endeavors come to a singular head on this project, articulated in its single, multi-sectioned, 37 minute title track.

Driving, polyrhythmic balaphone and percussion work meet Tyner-esque piano voicings and the Sanders saxophone wails we know and love.

"[7] Saxophonist Shabaka Hutchings, in an article for The Vinyl Factory, wrote: "There is a feeling of the music being both of the sky and of the earth, as above as it is below.

It is an intuitive reasoning, powerful for what it symbolises to the listener: that it is open to ancient concepts stretching back to the time of the kemetic civilisation... the title is the answer to the question which hovered over the civil rights movement in America, that lurked in the underbelly of all the anti-colonial movements sweeping Africa during the '70s and is still relevant today.
