Snoop Dogg will be voting for the first time this year—and he’s not the only one. Ziggy Marley voted for the first time this year also and documented the process on social media. “I decided to vote and I wondered to myself why,” Ziggy wrote on his IG. “Then I thought about those who came before, the price they paid. In part, I am voting in honor of them and to honor them, to not belittle their many sacrifices and struggles with my high jaded righteousness and indifference. Many brothers and sisters from numerous backgrounds and origins marched, bled, and died to give people like me basic rights in 🇺🇸 , the right to be treated like a human being, the right to vote.”

As the eldest son of the Robert Nesta Marley aka the King of Reggae, Ziggy is part of a mighty musical legacy, but his father is more than a musical legend.  The new film Freedom Fighter—part of the 75th anniversary series “Bob Marley Legacyexamines Marley as a symbol of human rights with a voice more powerful than any politician
