Presented by Serendipity Institute for Black Arts and Heritage in partnership with Phoenix
At the beginning of the last century, the young Leonard Percival Howell (1893 – 1981) left Jamaica, became a sailor and travelled the world. On his way, he chanced upon Bolshevism to New Thought, Gandhi to Anarchism, Garveyism to psychoanalysis, as he sought to find his promised land. With this cocktail of ideas Leonard Howell returned to Jamaica and founded Pinnacle, the first Rasta community, heralded by the coronation of Haile Selassie.
