WASHINGTON - Bob Marley, ganja smoking and dreadlocks are here - how could
they not be in what is billed as the first exhibition about the Rastafari
ever mounted in a major museum? Reggae, the ceremonial smoking of marijuana,
and tightly coiled locks of hair could hardly be omitted when the
Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History devotes a show to this
Jamaican-born subculture. Most of us, in fact, know of Rastafari only
through these popular manifestations.
