- 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.

Its a big shame that there are no Leonard P. Howell video or audio clips for us to watch, listen and observe.
It would've been so crucial to hear about his takes and philosophy.✊🏿
Jah Rastafari, king of kings, lord of lords, conquering lion of the tribe of Judah!!

The Rastafari Pan Afrikan Nationalist Spiritual Movement was not just inspired by Ras Howell alone. This Revival of our Ancient Afrikan Nationalistic Spirituality really came out of the Afrikan Nyahbingi Ba Congo spiritual musical drum tradition that our people brought to Jamaica as Poko Kumina and Revival Traditions, that was nurtured and preserved in the parishes of St Thomas And St Mary. Many mystics like Ras Joseph Hubert, Ras Archibald Dunken, Ras Robert Hinds, Ras Claudius Henry, Ras Prince Emmanuel, Ras Bongo Watto, Ras Planno Ras Prophet Gad, Ras Bongo Time, Ras Sam Brown and many more, that grew up in this Afrikan Spiritual tradition contributed to the creation of Rastafari Spirituality. They applying the Nyahbingi Kumina Drum Sounds and chants to the movement, by infusing our beloved King Haile Selassie Name To it after the Pan Afrikan Prophet Marcus Garvey announced to the island of the Crowning of King Selassie in Addis Ababa Etiopiyaa.
Linking your sprit to your culture and skin is the epitome of ignorance, and btw Selassie was a Jew puppet. the same Jews that killed Marley, you know why they off their own because if you go in bed with them you have dirt on them and when you go against the grain with information on them the only logical step is to off you. As a matter of fact you don't even have to go against them as long as you are of no more use, you are taken out like most of the Hollywood stars you see dying.. African revival was baby killed in it's sleep, and we got ganja and stupidly instead.. mind you they would allow for Muslim ignorance since they want something to point at as a diversion for their evil
Fyah Light Robert Hinds, Leonard Howell, Archibald Dunkley and Joseph Hibbert were 1st. They were informed by a couple who had been in New York about H.I.M.'s Coronation. Hibbert was a Mystic and focused on Ethiopian Masonry, Dunkley was concerned with the correlation of Ethiopian events and the Bible, Gong Howell was focused on the Sovereignty of Indigenous and Diasporic peoples. Howell was the 1st to define the RastafarI trod in the island of Xaymaca otherwise named, Jamaica by the Colonizers.😮
They got so much tings to say right now they got so much tings to say l-yan-l nuh cum-fih-fite flesh han bludd nor dih laus haff men bless
Leonard Howell a Noble Servant of the ongoing Black/Afrikan Liberation Struggle. Raspect to all the Elders of the Movemant who courageously resisted brutish british colonialism and exemplified Afrikan Personality in the slave plantation island of jamdung.
Ras Tafari Movemant Forever.
RAS TAFARI isn’t a ism or schism or movement but a faith…the remarkable history of LPH aka Gong is recorded for us to explore…where are our writers, our historians, to teach the knowledge and faith unto our children that shall be born in the future from generation to generation?
*RASTAFARI Kedusan Girmawi Kedamaw'e Haile Selassie I JAH Almighty First Negusa Negas Ababa Jon Hoy ANCIENT OF DAYS MOST HIGH...I & I must recall for GOODNESS & not forget the perpetrators of human injustices...IT IS very important that future generations learn of I & I STORY so accuracy can be maintained in the persuasion of pertinent action to address such maladies of those claiming to be governments & dis & dat...SELAH...*
Rastafari is not a faith. It is a movement as it has developed since 1930 to what it is now.
@@solarscience5815 what is a faith? What is a movement? Do even know the definition of the word or name RAS TAFARI?
@@rastafari4932 Faith is belief. Rastafari is a knowledge based livity. Movement means positive change or development. It also means a shared political and/or cultural ideals inter alia. Rastafari is both a cultural and a political movement. I know exactly what the words Ras and Tafari translate to in English. Do you? Do you know the difference between a movement and a faith now?
@@solarscience5815 what we have said, we have said!
Blessings to his visión. He recreated the Rastafari movement of old to the western world .The ancestors must have gave him such visión.
The person pictured in the thumbnail alongside the words “this is the man who created Rastafarianism” is Max Romeo, not Leonard Howell.
You mean Max didn't invent Ratafari? LOL
Howell is a true hero. Like Paul Bogle and Marcus Garvey.
Hail oh mighty King. A true warrior. Rastafari blessed the i
Leonard Howell one off the greatest four fathers ever walk bout yan
Lol I find Leonard Percival Howell documentary verry educational and funny he was a force to recon with
howell is a true hero but he didn't wear the dresdlocks
This is extensive 😮
Its not an ism. Its a way of life
Rastafarian is about exodus movement of Jah people, never ever forget that it's not about Rastafarianism, bun a ism N schism 💯 Rastafar-i 💯 I n I liveth continually 1❤💚💛 I brothers N sisters 💯✊✊✊
Rastafari is the biblical mustard seed And the first shall be last,and the last shall be the first. In this time. Burn a ism and a schism.
No it’s not it’s Garvey’s and Pan Afrikans mustard seed.
1936 Haile Selassie appeal to the League of Nations in the face of the Italian invasion:
"...I ask the fifty-two nations, who have given the Ethiopian people a promise to help them in their resistance to the aggressor, what are they willing to do for Ethiopia? And the great Powers who have promised the guarantee of collective security to small States on whom weighs the threat that they may one day suffer the fate of Ethiopia, I ask what measures do you intend to take?
Representatives of the World I have come to Geneva to discharge in your midst the most painful of the duties of the head of a State. What reply shall I have to take back to my people?”
How is it that the "incarnated god" was forced to appeal to the humans in the "League of Nations" rather than call down a host of angels?
For the simple reason that every faith doesn't believe or have a structure of angels and a eurocentric vision of heaven.
The devil asked the same question to Yashua!!!
And ur god had to sacrifice his son oh no himself to himself just to save you
Yo! put a big Fire on ISM and SCISM! You are not qualified to talk on Rastafari.. LIGHTNING!!

Why they put Max Romeo photo if they talking about Powell, how the land fall into Marley, s hand? Need to hear more
Real talk no usm n schism💯
Not a religion but A freedom fighter
what is the meaning, of king of kings???
Rastafari originally from India.
Indians are part of our Jamaican culture, and they have been in Jamaica since the 1840s. However, the Ethiopia culture mainly influenced Rastafarism. Though I believe smoking ganja is influenced from our Indian culture. Jah bless!!
Rastafari is non political.blessed
And rastafaribis not about faith is the way of life
Not and ISM. Not a Reliegion. A Livity. A tradition. A Revelation. A fullness.
There are 3 million Rastafari people in South Africa alone the faith is growing from strength to strength
Yes I thought that was a little bit funny when she said there's about 1 million . More like 10 million..,💯🇬🇧👍
Fya fi dem who a try mek likes affa I an I. Fya bun all isns an schisms

Use Norman Manley picture not Michael Manley
I would like to know where Marcus Garvey was in the midst of all of this. Would be interesting to tie him into it as the timelines seem similar. I wonder what his take on the movement was. 2:53 just answered my concern. Thank you for this.
they think every one is dum try to deceive us
Bruv i wrote u a comment but they deleted it. Like bob marley dont even remember which arm he got shot in. Ive got the vid somewhere might be one of him on mags channel to. He has the blood line in him his pups was a scotish freemason. Ive given up on trying to wake people up. Stay blessed young warrior.
Did u get my message
No ism n schism
Bless the Gong
I admire that Jamaicans went to Africa. I just do not understand why Caribbeans, appropriate African colors, which are Green, Yellow and Red. How come black Caribbeans don’t normalize using the pan African colors that’s Marcus Garvey made, which are the Red, Black and Green?
"Rally round the flag
Rally round the red
Gold black and green
Marcus say sir Marcus say
Red for the blood
That flowed like the river
Marcus say sir Marcus say
Green for the land Africa
Marcus say
Yellow for the gold
That they stole
Marcus say
Black for the people
It was looted from"
Lyrics from Steel Pulse, reflecting Rasta ideology. The typical Rasta flag has a brown lion of Judah, but there are many with the lion ("more correct") represented in black. One could argue the yellow could look more "gold" too, but they incorporated several African motifs and all know what the colors symbolize. Don't be so literal... :D
@@theDubguy …These lyrics are of no concern to me. I am from the mother land (Africa) 💚💛❤️and I know that Black Caribbeans appropriated the African colors. Rastafari is definitely African and it came from the name of a king from Ethiopia, Africa (NOT the Caribbean) Haile Selassie.
The flag that you people normally use is of the old Ethiopian flag. Why couldn’t you people create your own flag for your community and use a different name, why Rastafari?
@@dee7847 First of it is not "my" community, I am not a Rasta - I just happen to be friends with several from decades of working reggae festivals, etc. Neither was Garvey. His flag was for the UNIC, and while he wanted it to become a universal symbol, that was HIS gig. His words may have inspired the Rasta movement, but that doesn't mean they should adopt his flag. They chose the Ethiopian flag as the basis because it is much more centrist to their ideals (repatriation to Shashamane, etc.)
I posted the lyrics to point out that all 4 colors are symbolic among the many pan-African countries and entities: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan-African_colours#Non_pan-African_flags_with_pan-African_colours, and the fact that most "Rasta" flags you see these days are created by marketing folks and NOT Rastas.
"Why couldn’t you people create your own flag for your community and use a different name, why Rastafari?" That's like saying why do Christians call themselves Christian when they are not from the holy land, and therefore have no claim to use Christ's name? They celebrate the flag of their Kings of Kings (another of his official titles btw)... it is literally the "imperial" Ethiopian flag (currently outlawed I believe), and they base everything around His Imperial Magesty. I am not sure why thatseems problematic or is a hard pill to swallow? What bothers you about it?
Also, where do you think Black Caribbeans came from?
When you speak of traitors look at mengustu and what Sudan has become, your ignorance is blatant, JAH RASTAFARI
What has Mengistu from Ethiopia done to Sudan
They are so much divisions amongst blacks even amongst Christians and the Rastafari movement's and amongst blacks internationally, and our Lord Yesus Christus greatest prayers 🙏 was unity and HIM Selassi I preach unity organise centralised and they are all divided criticising each others, blacks needs to unites organise centralised building their own social and economic structures unity is strength, they are inough funds in the black community to create a super power, blacks are at the bottom of the barrel fighting insurgency and gangsters culture, Love ❤️ is the key, one love.
Who killed him ?

Rasterfari is not a new religion. I heard of rasterfarian since I was a child. I am 75 years old now. That is a very long time.
No that's not a long time.
Want to come define Rasta. Out of order.
Haile Selassie its another one worker of the elite, rastarians they fall in the trap made by elite, all the Jamaicans B Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer were workers from elite

That stupid view of an "EMPEROR" as an "INCARNATION OF GOD'S even more brainless than "GOD BEGOTTEN SON" the stagnation of Jamaicans worst than Christianity, and that is saying a lot.
Why are some of you peole so ungrateful and untrue ,in lights of Rastafarian contributions to the afro-slaves yard (so_called Jamaica)nowadays as mis_statements, even in the churches that use to once ridiculed Rasta farian (Empress)people way of thinking types of apparel that they wears are now wearing African prints in a flimsy modesty still infiltrating and still can't figure what's the true meaning of the faith and against the unification of our historical endowments as Africans at home and abroad...last but not least the the lionable Marcus messiah Garvey prophesies in the eyes of the almighty God of creation and the people that the unification of all Africans shall appear like a whirlwind in a dis yah after shock, i wish not to be a flea into the white mans (down_pressors) collar when the right time come..which is this moment
A view can be more far from the truth than the pope as the vicar of christ or God's representative on earth?
Howell repeated ehat he learn from Alexander T Bedward
Not a religion
thank you very much !
nuff poeople dem confuse it !
HE never create the KING RASTAFARI . JUST ANOTHER WITNESS IF ANYTHING
So-called King of Ethiopia who led a coup to dethrone the Queen Menelik II Daughter, his name is Ras Tafari Mokonnon? So someone in Jamaica??? joined his first, second name "TOGETHER" & it become Rastafari, Ras-Tafari-Mokonnon. call himself Selassie,
Pick up a book. Ras Tafari Makonnan served faithfully as Empress Zawditu's Regent Plenipotentiary until she died after illness (diabetes), following which He was crowned Emperor Haile Selassie I. There was no coup.
@@MasimbaMusodza SHARE ADVANCE BULLSHIT KNOWN FACTS, THE QUEEN WAS KEEPING THE THRONE FOR HER SON REQUESTED BY THE KING MENELIK II. WELL, HOW COME AFTER THE COUP, THE QUEEN WAS POISON???? THEN, RAS-TAFARI MAKONNAN. KILLED ALL OF HER AMBASSADORS EXCEPT ONE, COME UP WITH THAT.
@@MasimbaMusodza VERY same thing YOU said, "Pick up a book" because YOU NEVER KNEW JACKSHIT, ALL those Rastafarians that I communicated with they NEVER DENIED, But You, Ras Tafari Makonnan was the Regent of Ethiopia, him & the Leader of Christianity plan together, so the Plan is WHEN he became King, he would make Ethiopia fall into Christianity, so, WHAT happened???? Ethiopia did not become a Christian Nation????? From Hebrew which Queen Makeda founded, Ras Tafari ERAZED Menelik Dynasty
Ras isn't really a name so much as a title, close to "prince" in meaning, and was one of many titles bestowed upon him. In similar fashion, Ras is used in JA to mean "boss". Or the first half of many insults! A bumbaclot, when directed at an individual is similar to calling someone an "jerk" (closer to "a-hole"), but a Ras clot is boss (or king) of "jerks".
@@theDubguy And how come his Birth name is Res-Tefari Makonnan??? FIRST he was not BORN a Prince, they have Menelik II Daughter has son, Menelik II, grand his daughter steward of the Throne until his grandson reach of age to Rule, Res Tefari, was a regent, Coup happened in Africa ALL the time, he & the Christians leader PLAN the Coup, so AFTER he poison the Queen, he changed the Religion from Hebrew to Christianity & get ALL the Rastafarian "PRAISING" a False Gods"
Cult.
Lifestyle. Cults have leaders like Jim Jones and David Koresh. Rasta livety is life itself. It is, in a sense, a branch of Christianity as Rastafarians study the Holy Bible and pray to the God of Abraham.
So isn't Christianity a cult / religion
Howell looks a lot like the AfroAmerican Actor Eddy Murphy
How could he be the one when Rasta movement or faith is older than that. STOP TALKING SHIT IF U DINT KNOW WHAT TO SAY
What are you even talking about? Rasta was inspired in a large part by the speeches of Marcus Garvey, and Howell was right beside him until the US threw both of them out. He was the first to proclaim divinity for Selassie - not sure how anyone can "preclude" THAT.
A the worst thing that him bring weh him seh Selassie is the king, when to me Selassie was a traitor
