KINGSTON, Jamaica — Opposition Leader Mark Golding has renewed his call for reggae king Bob Marley and cultural icon Louise Bennett-Coverley to be formally recognised as National Heroes.
He made the call in his National Heroes Day message on Monday, noting Marley’s influence in promoting resistance to oppression and unity through his music, and Bennett-Coverley’s contribution to preserving Jamaican language and cultural identity.
Golding also urged Jamaicans to protect national institutions from corruption and build a society where quality education, decent employment, affordable housing, accessible healthcare and public safety are available to all.
