Marley Foundation, Island Records, Press Event, 1990

Here's another piece of reggae history. In June, 1990, Island Records held a press conference in NYC, to announce a two million dollar (plus) donation to Amnesty International on behalf of the Bob Marley Foundation, to support global human rights initiatives. Representatives from the Foundation included Neville Garrick and Rita Marley, while Island's Chris Blackwell and Senior VP for Business Affairs, Rick Dutka presented the donation. Also present at this event was musician/activist Steve Van Zandt, writer/scholar Joan Mars, of Guyana, who gave a wonderful speech about Bob Marley's impact on the Caribbean, and Archbishop Abuna Yesehaq, from the Ethiopian Tewahedo Church, a recipient of some of the funds. I am not a historian, so if any of my details are off or the Marley historians out there want to add some background and context to this archival footage—please do!
