Neither Bob Nesta Marley nor Muhammed Ali (formerly Cassius Clay) needs any introduction - except, perhaps, to the Gen. Z and Alpha generations that know next-to-nothing of history. Marley was the widely-recognised king of philosophical-cum-political reggae music and Ali, the politically-conscious and philosophical greatest-ever boxer in modern history. Both were black. Both were conscious of this heritage - especially so its challenges. Both were determined to live and act as the champion their heritage and its cause. And both actually did! The sacrifices they consciously made, made a difference for them as individuals, for blacks as a race, and for the totality of humanity.

As US President Donald J. Trump marks his first year in office by expanding his wish list from making Canada the 51st State of America to seizing and renaming the Panama Canal, and now taking Greenland by any means, if he cannot get the Nobel Peace Prize, spare a thought for Russian President Vladimir Putin. The world has been unfair to him.
