Donisha Rita-Claire Prendergast, actress, model, dancer and poet, is Bob and Rita Marley's granddaughter. She spoke about the reggae icon's revolutionary lyrics, which the mainstream has conveniently ignored.

Marley helped popularise Rastafari, which embraced Pan-African political consciousness through his revolutionary music. We can't allow the revolutionary message that Bob tried to portray through his lyrics to be sanitised, and we must continue to underline the context and the meaning behind his songs.
