Bob Marley, the man who put Reggae and Jamaican music on the international stage, will be honored by having his house turned into a national monument in Jamaica. The home is one of the top tourist attractions in Jamaica,  and now will be recognized by the government.

The Jamaican government will declare Bob Marley’s Kingston home a national monument, 25 years after the reggae legend’s death.
Minister of Education and Culture Maxine Henry Wilson said the tribute was in recognition of all Marley had done to promote his Caribbean homeland overseas.
Marley, who died of cancer in the United States in 1981, would have turned 61 this week.via  theage.com.au.
