On this episode, we will track the beginning of the oppression of members of Rastafari by the Jamaica State, which culminated with the event now known as the 1963 Coral Gardens Massacre. The Coral Gardens Story surrounds a series of events which saw from April 11-13, Jamaican police detaining Rastas throughout Western Jamaica, killing and torturing many, after allegedly been given orders from then Prime Minister and future national hero, the Right Excellent Alexander Bustamante - to “bring in all Rastas, dead or alive”.
