Thirty years ago today, Bob Marley ended his earthly journey on his way home to his native Jamaica after a battle with cancer. Few musicians have left the kind of legacy that he has. His music continues to resonate with people across the globe because it's message is universal. His music was a constant call for African descended people to express self love and to seek out justice. A man this brilliant cannot be eulogized with words because his message took the form of music, and so I will simply share with you a few of my favorite Bob Marley songs.
