Bob Marley Né dans un village de Jamaïque un 6 février 1945 d’un père officier blanc de la marine anglaise et d’une mère paysanne jamaïcaine noire, Bob Marley passe son enfance à Kingston et à l’écart de son père. C’est dans le quartier populaire de Trenchtown qu’il s’initie à la musique des chanteurs de rock noirs américains ou au Ska des Skatellites. Avec ses amis Peter Tosh et Bunny Livingston, il forme à 14 ans The Wailing Wailers et enregistre son premier 45 tours. En 1966, il se marie avec Rita Anderson qui devient aussi choriste du groupe. Hissé au rang d’ambassadeur du reggae, Bob, devient porte parole de son pays appauvri et fait état de ses rêves de paix entre les peuples.
Alexander Bustamante 1884-1977 The Right Excellent Sir William Alexander Clarke Bustamante GBE (24 February 1884 – 6 August 1977) was a Jamaican politician and labour leader who became the first prime minister of Jamaica. Bustamante is honoured in Jamaica with the title National Hero of Jamaica in recognition of his achievements. Early life and education[edit] He was born as William Alexander Clarke to Mary née Wilson, of mixed race, and her husband Robert Constantine Clarke, an Irish Roman Catholic planter, in Hanover, Jamaica.[1][dead link] He said that he took the surname Bustamante to honour a Spanish sea captain who befriended him in his youth.[2] After travelling the world, including working as a policeman in Cuba and as a dietician in a New York City hospital, Bustamante returned to Jamaica in 1932. Marriage and family[edit] He married Gladys Longbridge and they had a family together. Entry into politics[edit] He became a leader in activism against colonial rule.
