During which period did Marley spread globally and become known as a man of peace?

• A. Late 1970s
• B. Early 1970s
• C. Early 1980s
• D. Late 1960s

Answer: (A)

Late 1970s is when Marley’s reach went global and his image as a peacemaker became iconic. The release of Exodus in 1977 pushed reggae onto world stages and sparked worldwide tours, spreading his music far beyond Jamaica. Then, in 1978, the One Love Peace Concert in Kingston famously brought the country’s rival leaders onto one stage, turning Marley into a symbol of reconciliation and peaceful change. Those moments together solidified his global fame and the peace-loving persona that many associate with him. Earlier on, he was rising internationally, but the late 1970s is the period when that global reach and peace leadership aligned. The late 1960s would be too early, and the early 1980s would fall after his life.
