Bob Marley and the voice of reason

Bob  Marly is one of the most popular reggae artist. He song about free and life.

Old pirates, yes, they rob I;

Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the 'and of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.

This is an important artistic expresion of slavery and African American people condition over the years. But the most important thing, i think, is this: "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds."

The policy affects on a direct way on the social understanding and reality life and social construccion. The slavery  became  an important aspect that  affects directly the cotidian life of the people. An example of that is the racial segregation. The slavery started to reside in the subjective relations and constitution of African American people and American people. Was necesary, and still being, a long process of recognition and apologies to help to heal the damages and pain suffered in the slavery.

I leave you with a couple of prhases of Mandela:

 "I am what I am because of who we all are" and  "For­give­ness is the very path one must travel to know free­dom."
