On April 22, 1978, the One Love Peace Concert was held at the National Stadium in Kingston, Jamaica. It brought together some of reggae’s biggest names during a time of intense political violence.
The event’s most iconic moment came when Bob Marley united Prime Minister Michael Manley and opposition leader Edward Seaga onstage, raising their hands in a gesture of peace and unity. Marley, returning to Jamaica after an assassination attempt two years prior, used his music and presence to call for healing.
The concert wasn’t just entertainment — it was a symbol of hope, a cry for peace, and a moment that defined Marley’s legacy as both an artist and revolutionary spirit.
