Answer:
Bob Marley and Martin Luther King, Jr. were the poetic expressions of the revolutionary spirit. Their use of language led to greater acceptance in society. This is evident when one observes that both Marley and King received official recognition from the respective governments under which they were born. Marley received titles from the Jamaican government, while King’s birthday/earthday is recognized on the third Monday of January in America as a federal holiday. On April 20, 1981 Marley received the Order of Merit, which is part of the Jamaican honours system and is the third highest honour conferred by the nation of Jamaica.
Let us be clear, none of these men died a natural death. In the minds of many, all were assassinated despite the claims of the authorities who have spoken on the matter.
