What you may not know:
Bob Marleys father, Norval Sinclair Marley, was a Caucasian-Jamaican of English descent and his mother,Cedella Booker,an Afro-Jamaican. As a mixed race Bob Marley faced racial discrimination, he once said
“I don’t have prejudice against meself. My father was a white and my mother was black. Them call me half-caste or whatever. Me don’t dip on nobody’s side. Me don’t dip on the black man’s side nor the white man’s side. Me dip on God’s side, the one who create me and cause me to come from black and white.” Bob Marley
