"He was a font of knowledge and wisdom" ❤️

🦁 March is Month of Ras B 🕊️

This month, we honour the life and works of Ras Bandele Selassie — founder of The Lion of Judah Prevail – Unity.

Throughout March, a dedicated Ras B Legacy Space has been created at the Centre. It showcases photographs of his life, his family, and his journey, along with a small biography sharing his works and mission.

There is also space to write a message in the tribute book, pin a note on the noticeboard, or share photos and memories. The space belongs to the community that love him.

His 2nd year Memorial is on the 25th, and his Earthstrong on the 31st — but the space remains open all month.

His works continue through us.
His legacy lives on.

📍 Rastafari Culture Centre
136 Grosvenor Road, St Paul’s, Bristol
All are welcome.
