The grandson of Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I will speak at two South Florida universities this week.

His Imperial Highness Prince Ermias Sable-Selassie, president of the Ethiopian Crown Council, is one of the grandsons of the late Ethiopian emperor whom Rastafarians consider the Messiah.

The prince, 45, is a key spokesman for the Ethiopian Royal Family, now in exile.

[...]

Prince Ermias will speak today at Florida International University and on Thursday at the University of Miami. He will address "The Enduring Legacy of a Solomonic Dynasty in Ethiopia."

[...]
The legend of the origin of the Ethiopian royal dynasty is recounted in the Kebra Negast, the national epic of Ethiopia.
