BOB MARLEY'S LEGACY TO HIS GRANDCHILDREN

Hill's children have benefited from the rich cultural heritage brought to them by their father, Rohan, who is a Rastafari like his late father.

Bob Marley was a committed Rastafari, and his music is deeply spiritual and imbued with the values of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, and clamored for desperately needed social reform for his native Jamaica.
