About Equal Rights:
Equal Rights brought together Peter Tosh's dedications to the revolutionary movements growing in Africa, and the mysticism and wonders of his personal growth as a prophet, poet, preacher and world-class musical trailblazer. The album included a number of songs that became human rights anthems over the next two decades: Get Up, Stand Up, Downpressor Man, African, Apartheid, and the title tune.

Lyrics:
Everyone is crying out for peace, yes
None is crying out for justice
Everyone is crying out for peace, yes
None is crying out for justice
I don't want no peace
I need equal rights and justice
I need equal rights and justice
I need equal rights and justice
Got to get it, equal rights and justice

As a child in Dominica I was exposed to his great music He is the epitome of bare knuckle truth Always hoped to meet this great messenger of Jah but went to Jamaica to study At UWI in 1987 3 months after his death I like Bob Marley’s message but Tosh was the one that brazenly spoke the truth to the corrupt world system RIP son of Jah you did your part to make our world better eternal life to you the flame burns still ❤

The seventies were defining moments for the world and Jamaican Reggae superstars like Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Burning Spear, U Roy etc were the standard flagbearers that defined the adolescent philosophy of that beautiful time. Social Justice, equity and equality, greater say in society and busting confidence in oneself. We were misunderstood by our parents, our senior siblings and later our early employers We are now in our 60s but have been largely shaped by that philosophy which we have carried to date. I do not know why Jamaica does not produce these types anymore.

[@bigvize8782]

Peter gosh is the greatest musician from out of my island Jamaica. I say that non apologetically. Greatest ever.

[@aaronsmith5079]

Peter Tosh began my search for morals as a homeless 'mixed-race' teen in the UK such a long time ago now. Today I still search for morals, but realise he gave me something equally important...self worth, love, and peace from within...I am so glad and humbled that human beings like Peter Tosh have, and do live...like fire that refuses to go out, or a light to guide us all...thank you Peter, you mean the world to me.

True words here.Peter Tosh is one of the most underrated reggae artist. This song is a Masterpiece!

[@fredvan6043]

Underrated? Why is that? Tosh posthumously got a Grammy for his (rather mediocre) 'No Nuclear War' album in 1987, and is still - more than 35 years after his death - one of the world's most popular and commercially successful reggae artists to date. Which part of that exactly sounds like 'underrated' to you?

Always felt Peter Tosh does not get the recognition he truly deserves. His singing is majestic. His lyrics are thought provoking in terms of the messages conveyed. The individual elements of the Wailers in terms of Peter, Bunny and Bob demonstrate their strengths, whether together or on their own. The musicianship it is of the highest quality too.

[@renatovilca6250]

I felt you . Went to Jamaica just to go to his recently opened museum , was wondering around looking for the address , ask some of the youths walking by if they knew where it was , no one gave me a single clue of the museum location, it’s like they don’t care or didn’t even know who peter Tosh was ...it was so sad , this guy is a Jamaican icon and you don’t know your roots and history . I was upset but finally found the place
