UNITED NATIONS PEACE MEDAL OF THE THIRD WORLD (June 15, 1978)
Senegalese Youth Ambassador to the U.N., Mohmmadu Johnny Seka

Come forward Bob Marley. The great Bob. The superstar Marley. I think, what we say is the express that surprise. He doesn’t believe he was coming to do that. We the Third World who believe in peace, we don’t have a arms. We don’t have nothing. But if the artist, the super star say it is time for peace and he was singing all a dis time that thing. What we come up to say is peace was, was made by MATASEE, is a Mandingo and you know I am Mandingo and if you made it by self, they don’t know what they are doing. But is in my language ‘JAMMA’. I think Bob can express you right away what that mean. ‘JAMMA’ ‘JAMMA’ is on my language peace and he say ‘JAMMA’ ‘JAMMA’. An in Kingston when he say ‘JAMMA’ mean peace. Then we have that same road going in Africa. Ok. An the second you know you journalists, I love you very much, you are who those who give us all the news of the Peace Medal. Maybe when the world see the young generation dreaming about peace. They will think it is a time then we get together and sing the peace, peace an love. An Bob on behalf again of 500 million Africans we want to show you. Ladies and gentlemen, I really want to know, when we gonna reveal Bob Marley. But I love to participate, when the King arrive home. Like every group I already have an opportunity to done there and that will be really lovely. This is a ‘JAMMA’ and the MASTER JAMMIN’ from Mandingo. Bob this express from your people, I can say my people, is our people. And you are in the Third World and April 22 in Jamaica, all the artists Jamaicans, you know unified singing and getting together. Because they think we can unify ourself. That’s good in _____. Ok now, here in Hilton..Park Avenue..America. We love just to say to you Bob, we love you in Africa. You know we never been in war, but what we can do is our fightings to get this United Nations, you know Medal of the Peace, to Bob. Then you are witnessing, I think a Don (Taylor) will be smiling, because the man ‘KAYA’ is a most wonderful thing. What we was needing in the front of 24,000 people, sharing and seeing you. That really what Africa need. Someone to express themself. You know what we buy the records of Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder. Twenty dollars and we tired. An we never have a chance to see him. That only why I propaganda to say, Bob in the front of the journalists do you see. My people that stay here and I put their last records of Bob Marley say. When he coming, an I say yah he’s gonna come, he’s gonna come because I’m  the _____ ambassador and I’m doing all a my best. An here is another brother, _____, they put your name. An they say Bob is on the way in Africa, an that is what we dream. God will bless you Bob. Let me put this on. On behalf of meet the press people, I love them they are making you a superstar.

THE LEGEND

 

I was blessed to call Bob Marley my bredrin'. My book PORTRAIT OF A LEGEND AND OTHER FOLKS will include 200 photographs of my work. A good portion of the book will be devoted to THE LEGEND BOB MARLEY. Included also in the book will be other Icons who I had the blessing of photographing.

WHAT IS A LEGEND?
A legend (Latin,  legenda, "things to be read") is a narrative of human actions that are perceived both by teller and listeners to take place within human history and to possess certain qualities that give the tale verisimilitude. Legend, for its active and passive participants includes no happenings that are outside the realm of "possibility", defined by a highly flexible set of parameters, which may include mracles that are perceived as actually having happened, within the specific tradition of indoctrination where the legend arises, and within which it may be transformed over time, in order to keep it fresh and vital, and realistic. A majority of legends operate within the realm of uncertainty, never being entirely believed by the participants, but also never being resolutely doubted.



This photograph is from Amsterdam 1976. This isn't my work but I LIKE IT. A dat.

COULD YOU BE LOVED

I was to take this photograph during the filming of the video 'COULD YOU BE LOVED'.
Would anyone out there in the virtual world know who the man with Bob might be? Help me out here peeps.

George Paige, as a New England concert promoter of reggae music, befriended Bob Marley backstage prior to the release of his legendary album "Uprising." A strong friendship developed which resulted in Marley asking George to head up national sales promotion for the single "Could You Be Loved." Before his untimely death, more then anything else, Bob Marley wanted one of his self-performed songs to be in the top ten pop U.S. music charts. "Could You Be Loved" ended up #6 in the Club Play charts.

 

 

 

OPEN LONDON

Open London is a small project which began in early 2012 documentating probably one of the greatest city in the world, London.

TELL OUT KING RASTA DOCTRINE AROUND THE WHOLE WORLD

I was blessed to have been in the presence of Brother Kumi. I give thanks.
Today September 6th is Brother Kumi's Earthday. Rasta never die.

“We are volunteer Ethiopians

Agitating for our Rights

And We’ll never stop fight

Until we brake down Babylon Wall.” Planno 1996

 

 

 

 

In the words of a witness, Bro. Dyer, an elder who Planno inspired into the faith of Rastafari and who later walked to Ethiopia from Spain – “Planno open his mouth and began to teach them about their history”. Planno recalls starting with the Psalm that was unfolding before him and he spoke thus: Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together, against the lord, and against his anointed, saying, let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh… (Psalm 2:1-4)

He earned the title of “Prime Minister for the day”

in the local newspaper. The arrival of the Emperor had been dreamt of and desired ever since the doctrine emerged in the 1930s. For those three days Jamaica had become Ethiopia according to Planno’s analysis.

 

“[A]s we get the opportunity we use it, use it fi carry one foot forward. Every time an opportunity open the door we go through that door and call down Africa pon dem. Marcus Garvey learn from Mohammed Ali that the people of the Caribbean want to learn more about Africa. And him Marcus

Garvey did not have the language to tell it to the people. Him didn’t really have that approach. The Rastaman for instance have a better approach than him in telling the people about back-to-Africa…to explain to you who can’t read – what British write – how “you going to suffer through your own desire”. Planno 1998

 

“Ethiopia the Aincient Kingdom of Africa has made an unnoticed expansion of the Ethiopian Kingdom. From one end of the Earth to the other. Africa being inhabited by invading

European Nations Has lost most of her written history to the invaders, who in turn copy and then destroy the original…” Planno 1996

 

 

I GIVE A FU*K

Thanksgiving? Every year I hear about Thanksgiving. Who do one give thanks to?...And who is giving thanks? What are they giving thanks for? For lots of poverty on the earth, and lots of war that is a-rumoring, all over the earth. For lots of people who die daily and the crime that multiply? So I'll make a joyful noise unto JAH. It's not the one-half that's never been told, it's the three quarters. ~ Peter Tosh

...naturally, no one gives a fu*k about North Korea.
Wrong.
I do!

JUST A MAN A THE GHETTO
