*TODAY IN HISTORY*

* On this day in 1974, a coup led by a group of the Ethiopian armed forces and other law enforcement agencies in Ethiopia ousted Emperor Haile Selassie. Selassie is often considered to be a Messiah by those who follow Rastafarianism, a religious belief that originated in Jamaica.
