YES RASTA…Commendations to all organizers,participatants and patrons…ONE PERFECT LOVE
RESPECT TO THE BLACKMAN and WOMAN,who came to this side of the hemisphere in Bondage,
and our Fathers and Mothers who worked to make the WEST a place for their children to rest,
But Babylon won’t let us rest,with all their comess as Education,trying to deny us of our relationship with ZION.
But JAH is OUR LIGHT and DIRECTION,and we will Hold Strong.
