May 11, 2011 will mark the 30th year since reggae icon Bob Marley transcended this life. The Bob Marley Foundation and the Bob Marley Museum are making preparations to mark this occasion, as are numerous organizations, radio and television programmes across the globe. International interest in commemorating Marley’s passing is not surprising. Since his passing, Marley’s legacy has surpassed mere fame as he represents far more than a pop legend.
