The Rastafari Movement is a new spiritual movement, started in the early 1930's, on the caribbean island of Jamaica. On November 2, 1930, Ras Tafari Makonnen was crowned emperor of Ethiopia, which seemed to be the fulfillment of Marcus Garvey's prophetic words, "look to Africa for the crowning of a Black King; He shall be the Redeemer."[1]
