Answer 1

To show to the world the sufferings of the people, especially poor people who are the victims of the corrupt political systems. Jamaica's politics and politicians keeps deceiving the people continually.

Trench town was a microcosm in the sufferings of poor and disadvantaged peoples from all over the world.

Ras Cardo who mentored Bob Marley and other reggae legends as a youth himself, did much works to make sure that the struggles of the trench town people will never be forgotten. He too was a part of the sufferings and struggles of his people.

He stands as a living reggae creator and legend today who has the detailed history from those trench town days.

Many of the lyrics in the songs of Bob Marley and Peter Tosh came from the reasonings of all the trench town brethrens when Ras cardo was attending the prestigious catholic high school- St. Georges College- . Taught by Jesuits with advanced degrees Ras cardo shared his knowledge with all the trench town people.
