BOB MARLEY : I AM AFRICAN!

Pan-African musical icon Bob Marley died on this May 11, 1981 and it is important to remind the world that Bob Marley always identified as an African first. When US journalist Gil Noble sat down in 1980 with Bob Marley, 1 year before he died, he asked Bob whether he felt more Jamaican or African. The legendary reggae musical icon had an interesting response that should make Africans in the diaspora rethink their relationship with their motherland.
