Ethiopia's Emperor Haile Selassie celebrates the 37th anniversary of his coronation in a day of special events. He's accompanied by Kenya's President Kenyatta and addresses Parliament, urging forces to end colonial rule in Rhodesia, South Africa, and Portuguese territories. Emperor Haile Selassie and President Kenyatta parade for onlookers in a convertible limousine. Onlookers cap and smile. A large banner shows the Emperor on the day of his coronation. The interior of Ethiopia's Parliament Building is shown where Emperor Selassie addresses listeners (no natural sound). Legislators sit in even rows, and are fixed upon their leader. Colonialism.
