This haley guy is not mentioned anywhere in the Bible. He must not have been all that important.

That's where you are wrong. Lots of "Haleys begatten Haleys". They do that a lot in the South.

Accompon, you never fail to inform, inspire and impress me, not to mention, occasionally crack me up. Once again, well done my friend.

thanks, Accompong, I didn't take the time to type the actual speech. "War" is one of the very first of Bob's songs I learned way back when; the words struck a chord in my heart.

Here's a picture of Selassie being greeted by the Ras Elder at the time.

Goldi, I wanted to apologize just a likkle. At the same time I was posting this, a friend had posted this supposed quote from HIM on Facebook.

When I read it, I realized that this was not from HIM but from Bob Marley's song "War". I bought Rastaman Vibration in 1978 just after that concert I talked about in the beginning of this thread. It was Marshall who actually educated me as to where a lot of the Marley lyrics came from like; "I shot the sheriff" which came from a movie about Gregorio Cortez (although Marshall didn't know the exact name) and besides HIM the speeches of Marcus Garvey.

You know me well. I am a writer and a researcher and I bristle a likkle at misquotes and misspellings.

But..... ya no mi luv ya gyal!

Peace Love and Guidance.

Accompong,

Did you get my PM about HIM and Garvey?

[Papa Georgie]

For a very thorough biography I recommend "Negro with a Hat: The Rise and Fall of Marcus Garvey" by Colin Grant.
