King of Kings,
Conquering Lion of Judah,
Elect of God.

All were used to describe Haile Selassie, who ruled as
Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974 and is venerated
still as the Divine incarnate by adherents of the Rastafari
faith.

That he was ultimately deposed by a military
discontented with his regime should not eclipse his
contribution to African solidarity.

Selassie gave Ethiopia its first constitution and convened the
earliest meeting of the Organization of African Unity.

But he is perhaps most widely remembered for the

speech he gave before the League of Nations in 1933

as the legions of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini

stormed his ill-equipped nation.

The League did little to prevent Ethiopia's defeat,

but Selassie's appeal, uttered movingly in his

native Amharic,would serve as a pillar in

the struggles against

colonialism and Fascism.

With a firm internationalist

bent, the last Ethiopian monarch eventually

saw his country become a charter member

of the United

Nations.

A TIME "Man of the Year" who claimed

descendance from the biblical King Solomon,

he ushered the continent he had unified into

a distinctly African modernity.
