The Rastafarian tradition or movement began in response to the oppression of black people. It is a Christian, Bible based religion that sees Emperor Haile Selassie as a reborn Christ figure. Haile Selassie made a speech to the United Nations in 1963 which condemned racism and the oppression of people of African descent. At that time, people across the world were seeking justice and equality. Civil rights for all was a primary motivator of the Rastafari. At that time, Jamaica was very segregated and blacks were generally quite poor, as in many other parts of the world. It was felt that by achieving equal rights, world peace and economic stability would result.
