Roots of the Rastafari
Movement
In the year 1887 on the 17th day of August, a bouncing
baby boy was born from the belly of Sarah Jane
Richards, at 32 Market Street in St. Ann‘s Bay, Jamaica
West Indies. This child turned out to be, the great
Honorable Marcus Garvey, African Liberator and
African Patriot, who became the founder and Director,
of the Universal Negro Improvement Association,
which became an international organization, for the
consciousness of African people everywhere, and was
very active and well known, in the United States of
America.
Marcus Garvey traveled some parts of the world, teach-
ing Africa for the Africans those at home and those
abroad, and ended up doing most of his great works in the
United States of America, while Ras Tafari Makonnen,
worked hard and seriously, to uplift his people in
Ethiopia, and to change the degrading living conditions,
which existed at that time. So although Marcus Garvey
and Ras Tafari Makonnen, were living in different
countries, and have never met, they were both working
for the improvement of African people at the same period
of time.
In the year 1930, Marcus Garvey was 43 years of age,
and Ras Tafari Makonnen, was 38, and was about to sit
on the great Throne of King David, as Supreme Leader of
all of Ethiopia, Marcus Garvey was very much aware of
this situation, and therefore informed his followers, that
this King will be crowned in Ethiopia, and we as African
people, must look forward to him as our leader and
African Patriot.
After the Italians invaded Ethiopia, and murdered
thousands of Ethiopians, with their poison gas and other
weapons of mass distruction, in the year 1935-37, His
Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Sellassie I, went to
Geneva, and Challenge the League of Nations, for their
dishonesty and hypocrisy. He told them that they struck a
match in Ethiopia, but it shall blaze in Europe, and by
1939, Europe was blazing in the event of the second
world war, and it is still blazing, even now, as we are
approaching the third world war. He told them that God
and history will record their Judgement.
As a result of the above manifestations, the Roots of the
Rastafari Movement, was planted and watered, and has
grown into what it has become today. Marcus Garvey as
an African who was born in the Caribbean, has made
great contributions, to the cause of social Justice, for
African people in the USA, as well as all over the world,
and the Rastafari people have taken the baton from
Marcus Garvey, and carried on the great struggle, for
Repatriation, Reparation, Restoration, and Compensation,
for African people everywhere.
Marcus Garvey’s liberation works in the USA, is well
known, since he had African people in Uniforms,
marching for more than a mile long, in the Streets of
Harlem, New York, and other parts of the USA, shouting,
Africa for the Africans, those at home and those abroad,
as well as having great conventions, as early as 1920. He
was also able to put the black Star Line ships on the Sea,
although he was sabotaged and imprisoned, and finally
deported. So Marcus Garvey is to be credited, for starting
the Rastafari Movement, and so the Rastafari people,
continued the Noble struggle, for the liberation of African
