The Occupy Pinnacle movement says it is gearing up to reinhabit the historical lands and birthplace of Rastafarianism, 'The Pinnacle', in St Jago Hills.
Robert 'Ras Kaleb' Gordon, leader of the Occupy Pinnacle movement and secretary of the Rastafarian Youth Initiative Council, said yesterday that the movement was on a mission to take back land that "rightfully belongs to them"..

Yesterday, members of the Gleaner team toured the land that marked the start of Rastafarianism that gave Jamaica major international recognition through its reggae music and rich cultural practices.
"This is just the beginning of occupying back The Pinnacle, as the lands should be restituted to the Rastafarian community. In 2009, the Rastafari Millennium Council identified six lots and the Government has only declared one to us," Gordon explained.
Gordon pointed out that it would have been better if they had received three out of the six lots identified. However, he said the group would be going after all six lots it says belong to it. more
