On Bob Marley's Birthday, a Look at Rita Marley's Selfless Work in Ghana
Charles Annenberg Weingarten.Founder, explore.org
Posted: February 4, 2011 05:00 PM

All over the world, the Marley name has become synonymous with reggae music, rastafari, Jamaica and the ideals of love, hope, justice and unity. As devotees of the Marley legacy honor Bob's 66th birthday this weekend, I'd like to share a short film we at Explore.org did to shine a light on the Rita Marley Foundation and the amazing work she does in Ghana as the official Queen of Development (Nkoso-hene) of that region.

3. more about Ghana
Explore the poverty and economic conditions 50 years after independence. Despite being rich in natural resources Ghana is one of the poorest countries in the world rigged by child labourer and exploitation by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.

5. K & R for Bob Marley's legacy
which is infinitely more humanitarian than that of...well, you know the person to whom I'm referring...further proof that the good DO die young as well as its corollary.

10. k & r... Redemption Song
Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the 'and of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Won't you help to sing
This songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fullfil the book.

Won't you help to sing
This songs of freedom-
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.


Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fullfil the book.
Won't you have to sing
This songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs -
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom

12. Now, THERE'S a birthday worth remembering after his death...
I think Reagan might have been helped by a few of BM's credos.
