THE MAN WHO CREATED RASTAFARIANISM
Explore the remarkable story of Leonard Percival Howell, the trailblazer of the Rastafari movement, in our latest documentary, "The Man Who Created Rastafarianism." Born on June 16, 1898, in Clarendon, Jamaica, Howell emerged as one of the earliest and most influential preachers of the Rastafari faith, often hailed as "The First Rasta."
This video delves deep into Howell's life, from his early days in an Anglican family to his profound declarations that Ras Tafari Makonnen, Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia, was the "Messiah returned to earth." His sermons and the publication of "The Promised Key" sparked controversy and led to his imprisonment yet fuelled the growth of the Rastafari movement.
Discover how Howell's relentless fight against colonialism and his efforts to empower black people resonated globally, making him a significant figure in anti-colonial movements. We also explore the establishment of Pinnacle, a commune that became a sanctuary for Rastafari followers and a symbol of Howell's vision.
Howell's life was marked by his unyielding advocacy for black supremacy to combat colonial oppression, his role in founding the Ethiopian Salvation Society, and his impact on future generations as a mentor within the Rastafari community. Despite facing significant persecution, including repeated arrests and a stint in a mental asylum, Howell's teachings and community efforts left an indelible mark in Jamaica and the world.
Join us as we honour the legacy of a man whose vision transcended the boundaries of Jamaica and inspired a worldwide faith.
