Default Rastafarianism

Can somebody explain the basic beliefs and rituals as well as religious holidays of this religion?

So far, I've gathered that:

-Rastafarians believe Jesus Christ was Black.

-They believe that they will return to the promised land (ethiopia) when the day of judgement comes.

-They believe smoking Gangja will make them experience Jah's (God's) prescence.

-They wear dreadlocks as a badge of the patient virtue.

I also know it was created in 1930 by Marcus Garvey.

Can anyone add anything to this?
