Haile Selassie I Visit, circa 1963
In the early 1960s, Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia visited St. Joseph High School in Addis Ababa. The school was built on land donated by the emperor to the Christian Brothers and was dedicated in 1961. At the time, the Emperor lived next door to the Christian Brothers in a new palace and his grandchildren and great-grandchildren attended St. Joseph’s.
