Answer 1

Robert Nesta Marley was born on February 6, 1945 in Nine Mile (Rhoden Hall, Saint Ann Parish), a small town north of the island of Jamaica, in the Caribbean Sea. He was the son of Cedella Booker, an African-Jamaican who was 18 years old (when Bob was born) and Norval Marley, a white Jamaican of English descent (his family came from Essex), captain of the Royal Marines (British Marines) , who considered himself English, because when he joined the British Armed Forces for World War I, on the form he said he was English, so that he would not be questioned much more (and because at that time Jamaica was a colony of the United Kingdom and its white population had the British nationality). The date of Norval's birth is controversial since according to many sources he was born in 1895 (so he would be 50 years old when his son Bob Marley was born) but according to other sources he was born much earlier, in 1881. Although Norval helped his wife financially and to his son, he rarely saw his son for spending time traveling; In addition, according to some sources, his mother (Bob's grandmother) was pressuring him to stay away from the child because of racist prejudices. Bob's father died when he was 9 years old, in 1954. Bob Marley had to endure ridicule and contempt on the part of Jamaican blacks for his mulatto status (mestizo product of the mixture of black and white), especially in his childhood, adolescence and early youth (it is said that the brother of his first girlfriend He told her that "we do not want whites in this house"). But then Marley was indifferent to those slights and said not to be ashamed of their racial mixture; although he identified himself simply as black and that was the only part of his racial heritage for which he showed interest.
