Landlord Tried to EVICT Bob Marley's Mother — What Bob Did Changed the Man's Heart

Описание: September 12th, 1974. Trench Town, Kingston, Jamaica. William Patterson knocked on Cedella Marley's door with eviction papers in his briefcase. She was two months behind on rent, and William was a businessman with bills to pay. He'd given her chances. Now it was time. But that evening, a young man with dreadlocks knocked on William's door. "Mr. Patterson, I'm Robert Marley. Cedella's son. People call me Bob." What happened in the next hour didn't just save Cedella's home — it transformed William Patterson from a man who'd forgotten his own struggle into someone who would help over 10,000 families avoid homelessness.
