Ziggy Marley Meets Dr. Bob at the Howard Theatre in DC, for the launch of his “Wild and Free” Tour
Bob and Zoh Hieronimus met with reggae superstars Ziggy Marley and his brother Stephen Marley, one half of Ziggy Marley and The Melody Makers, on August 16, 1997 in Baltimore. The children of reggae legend, Bob Marley, were in Baltimore on tour with their latest album, Fallen Is Babylon. Before their sound check they stopped at the 67x22 foot mural, “A Little Help From Our Friends”, designed by Bob Hieronimus, which depicts a 20 foot high portrait of their father in the very center.
Located at 3333 Greenmount Ave. on the outside wall of Johns Hopkins University’s Safe and Smart Center, Hieronimus’ mural “A Little Help From Our Friends” is dominated by portraits of varied historical figures who have become heroes and role models for all the world. Other “Friends” looking down on and inspiring the neighborhood include Mahatma Gandhi, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Liu Gang (Tiananmen Square organizer), Rachel Carson, Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., Harriet Tubman, Bob Levi (Baltimore philanthropist), and Leon Day, HOF ‘95.

A Tribute from Dr. Bob Hieronimus, www.21stCenturyRadio.com William Donald Schaefer was all about rebirth. And I don’t mean just what he famously did for the renaissance of the City of Baltimore. He had a deeply spiritual and almost mystical side to him that few would ever see. His vision for the future was as distant as his appreciation for the far distant past, and his underlying goals and motivations were towards a future of “one people, one planet.” As a local artist, I was one of many who first noticed William Donald Schaefer when he was on the City Council and the sponsor of the “1-per-cent-for-art” clause in municipal building contracts.
