Wikipedia's article on Mortimer Planno, community-edited. Reliable for the date of Emperor Haile Selassie I's state visit to Jamaica, 21 April 1966, and Planno's role persuading the Emperor to disembark at Kingston's Palisadoes Airport after thousands of Rastafari surrounded the aircraft, an encounter that validated the movement's beliefs before the wider public and secured Planno's own standing within it.
