Description

The Holy Piby was written by Robert Athlyi Rogers, who founded an Afrocentricreligion in the US and West Indies in the 1920s. Rogers’ religious movement, the AfroAthlican Constructive Church, saw Ethiopians (in the Biblical sense of Black Africans)as the chosen people of God, and proclaimed Marcus Garvey, the prominent BlackNationalist, an apostle. The church preached self-reliance and self-determination forAfricans.The original is very rare. There are no copies listed in either the Library of Congress orthe University of California catalogs, which is highly unusual. The Holy Piby wasbanned in Jamaica and other Caribbean Islands in the middle and late 1920s.Today the Holy Piby is acclaimed by many Rastafarians as a primary source.
