1.) Rastafarian Formation,Pilgrimage, and Image.




1.) Marcus Garvey was an activist, writer, publisher, and founder of The Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA-ACL) in the early 1900s. Marcus Garvey was a prophet, according to the Rastafarian's. He inspired the Rastafarian movement; he wanted all his people to go back to Africa to redeem their land and to rebel from European Colonialism. Many tend to believe that Hailee Selassie was the only predominant religious figure who inspired the Rastafarian's, but Marcus Garvey actually started the African Redemption movement which then led to the formation of the Rastafarian Movement.
