Wikipedia's article on Rastafari, community-edited. Reliable for the movement's 1930s Jamaican origin, its reading of Haile Selassie's 1930 coronation as fulfilling biblical prophecy (a doctrine Leonard Howell propagated and set out in his 1935 pamphlet The Promised Key), and the 1960s and 1970s growth in respectability and visibility abroad through reggae musicians, Bob Marley foremost; not the right source for a precise United Kingdom arrival date, which the article does not give.
