Grex Auction Item 19: A Rastafarian T-Shirt [frozen]
Entered by aruba on Mon Jun 2 04:31:53 UTC 2003:

Donated by John Hoy (jh):

White cotton t-shirt with a black silk-screened (by me) portrait of Haile
Selassie on the front. Size large.

From encyclopedia.com:

Haile Selassie
1891-1975, emperor of ETHIOPIA (1930-74). The grandnephew of Emperor
MENELIK II, and a Coptic Christian, he forced (1916) the abdication of Lij
Yasu, a Muslim convert, and placed Menelik's daughter, Zauditu, on the
throne. In 1928 he was crowned king, and after Zauditu's mysterious death
in 1930, he became emperor. During the Italian invasion (1935-36) he
personally led his troops against the enemy. He lived in exile in England
until 1941, when he returned and claimed the throne. After World War II he
instituted social and political reforms, such as establishing a national
assembly in 1955. In 1974, however, he was deposed by an army coup, and he
later died under mysterious circumstances. 

Minimum bid: $15.00.
