RECLAIM PINNACLE
THE HIGHEST HEIGHT OF RASTAFARIAN HERITAGE, CULTURE, AND HISTORY
WHY SHOULD WE RECLAIM
PINNACLE?
By Sista Catherine Howell www.lphfoundation.org
Pinnacle is the aftermath
of slavery, emancipation and the start of our culture as a nation.
Pinnacle is where the movement was founded and where the movement
embodies the values of self-determination, self-esteem, co-operative
sufficiency, economical empowerment, collective and united fraternal
love in spirit, pride, integrity and knowledge of self and history.
Pinnacle is the prime example of our ancient African villages and
communities which were self-reliant but was destroyed by a civilization
that was vicious, crafty and dishonest, corrupt, filled with hate,
discrimination, serration and bigotry.
WHY PINNACLE SHOULD
BECOME A HERITAGE SITE
Pinnacle contains the most
important and significant natural habitats of biological and traditional
human settlement and is now threatened by the St. Jago Hills Developer
which would afford monetary gain to a few as they perpetuate craftiness
and greed against the Nation of Rastafari. (Who they are suing for a
very small portion of land to be a heritage site) Pinnacle has an
outstanding universal value from the point of science, Rastafarian
Movement cultural and tradition.
Pinnacle is where the
rapture started to divide and conquer by the colonial system. Pinnacle
is the 1st free-slave village that was self-sufficient, financially self
sustaining, united and spiritual empowered community in Jamaica , taught
both public and private sectors the one love philosophy. Today, violence
and hatred are widespread in many parts of the world. In Western Europe,
America and many parts of the world you see examples of anti-Semitism
even after the end of the Jewish Holocaust, the enslavement of Africans
to the west and the Caribbean , the exploitation of Indians, Chinese,
and many people of other nationalities have suffered and died under
colonial ruling. Even today genocide remains a reality.
Join now and support the
Leonard Howell Foundation and its ongoing court battle to reclaim
Pinnacle as a Rastafarian heritage site. Next court date is Monday
November 24th at 9am. Hearings held at Spanish Town Magistrate’s
Court, St. Catherine Jamaica .
The Global consciousness
of the nation of Rastafari has the same human rights to a sacred site as
other indigenous people whose heritage is sacrosanct and who have been
granted land that is linked to their rising rituals and historical
roots. It’s important for the historical property (Pinnacle) be
recognized as a UNESCO world Heritage Site (Including a International
Rastafarian Worship and Research Center, Black Studies Library, Rasta
Training Craft Center, Holistic Health Center, and in tribute to Leonard
Percival Howell a monument as a National Hero who fought to Liberate
Black People.
In the future, when the
survivors and witnesses are no longer with us, it will be people of our
generation and younger who must keep the fire of remembrance burning.
Together we must work to ensure that future generations learn from the
past history of our ancestors, so never again will it repeat itself.

Prophecy must be fulfilled!!!!
There is an old African
proverb which goes this way,
“If we stand tall it is
because we stand on the shoulders of many ancestors.”

Greetings,
Let us file a Motion to
Show Cause to humbly request the Jamaican Government to render Pinnacle
a national historical site under the protection of the department of
tourism and culture; Pinnacle is in disrepair and needs to be rehabed...linked
to education and culture...funds are to be raised
internationally...brick...by....brick...and by especially sweat
equity...may I review the JA governments response, complaint and/or
pleading; can you publish them on the net? Pinnacle should be a tourist
attraction, a school and cultural center, restaurant and entertainment
center and should be self-reliable where visitors from throughout the
world can come to learn about the history of the Rastafarian Movement...therefore,
ganja, which is a sacred thing, must not be smoked on the grounds; if it
is to be supported these small concessions must be made so that the
government shall be comfortable that such a project will go in the right
direction...so that it can become self-sustaining...see if you can
motion for an extension of time to pool those of us in the foreign an
opportunity to assist with the response, spread the message and invite
support, financially, spiritually, physically and mentally. peacefully,
Wolete Selassie Haile Selassie...we can do it together...Pamoja
Tutashendi...together we can make it work...
