New on TikTok: Haile Selassie_ The Emperor Behind Bob Marley's 'War' & Father of African Unity Picture this: One Black man, standing alone in front of the world’s empires — and telling them they were wrong. Meet Haile Selassie — the Ethiopian Emperor who became the father of African unity and is revered as Christ in his kingly character by Rastafari. In 1963, he brought together 32 African nations to create the Organization of African Unity, the foundation of today’s African Union. He said: “History teaches us that unity is strength.” That same year, at the United Nations, he warned the world: “That until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned… the dream of lasting peace and world citizenship and the rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion…” Bob Marley turned those words into the song *War*. In 1966, when Selassie visited Jamaica, tens of thousands of Rastafari came to see him — not as a politician, but as the King of Kings, a direct descendant of King Solomon and Makeda. His image became a symbol of divinity incarnate. His words became an inspiration for their livity. And his legacy? Still alive in the African Union today. From emperor to global icon of Black unity. Haile Selassie, this week's featured hero from *Unstoppable You*. This video answers real questions about Haile Selassie, the African Union, Rastafari beliefs, and Bob Marley's War using Pan-African teachings and historical accuracy. #HaileSelassie #PanAfricanism #BobMarley #Rastafarian #AfricanHistory #BlackHistory #Ethiopia #HiddenHistory #Unity #Emperor #LionOfJudah ---BEGIN JSON-LD FAQ SCHEMA--- { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "What did Haile Selassie say at the United Nations?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Haile Selassie warned that until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is discredited and abandoned, peace and world citizenship will remain a fleeting illusion." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How is Bob Marley's 'War' connected to Haile Selassie?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Bob Marley's song 'War' is based directly on Haile Selassie's 1963 United Nations speech about racial equality and justice." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Why do Rastafari revere Haile Selassie?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Rastafari believe Haile Selassie is the returned messiah and direct descendant of King Solomon and Makeda, revering him as Christ in his kingly character." } } ] } ---END JSON-LD FAQ SCHEMA---
