Wu-Tang is for the Babies, God...
...and Trick love the kids. Likewise, so am I and so do I. With that said, I feel good having gone to DC Prep school and talking to/performing for the 7th graders over there. Interesting how kids think, too, man. When I spoke about Emitt Till, one young lady asked what would happen if Jim Crow was reversed and they went after the white lady instead of Emitt Till. Crazy right? That seems like a poem in itself. It's been a while since I did outreach like that, but it felt really good to do that. My boy Kyle said he needed some poets to come through and represent for one of his elementary school friends, who now teaches over @ DC Prep. Wasn't a thing, so I went through and spoke with them like young adults along with Kyle. That's a great time to reach them, because that's the time they start to figure out things, and also when they start to go one way or the other. I tip my hat to all of those in the struggle fighting the good fight.
