In Bob Marley’s song “War” he immortalized a small portion of a monumental speech that was addressed to The United Nations on October 4th 1963 by His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie.
Today I would like to share the whole speech for those who are interested in hearing this prophetic message of peace, love and hope, and clear guidelines for a brighter future for All Humanity!
Since embarking on this “Words Of Rastafari” project, my love and deep appreciation for the wisdom & passion of Haile Selassie has increasingly grown. Many people have so much to say “about HIM” but His Own Words give us the true understanding of his personal faith, hopes and aspirations for his people of Ethiopia and the World!
