As Jamaicans celebrate the birth of reggae icon Bob Marley Sunday, more light has been shed on what steps may be taken in an attempt to make him a national hero. Marley who was born on February 6, 1945, now holds the order of merit, which is the country's third highest honour. The honor of national hero is the highest that can be awarded to any Jamaican. For decades, people have been calling for bob Marley to be awarded/declared a national hero. During a colorful celebration of the legend's life in Kingston Sunday morning, Culture Minister Olivia Babsy Grange outlined the process by which that could be done. She says Jamaicans who want Bob Marley to become national hero should first write a letter to that effect. Minister grange says the letter should be submitted to her or to the prime minister. Meanwhile, the call for reggae legend Bob Marley to be declared a national hero resonated among civilians who turned out to celebrate the icon's life and works on Sunday. All members of the large gathering, who spoke with Irie FM news from the Bob Marley museum in Kingston, shared similar sentiments. Some say Marley is deserving of the honor because he has so far placed Jamaica's culture higher that anyone before or after him. Persons also claimed that Marley should become the country's eighth national hero, because he is more popular that all of those who now wear the title.
