What is Justice??
When Drew came to Philly, He and I went to center city and there was a protest for someone named Mumia. And of course me being all curious and all was like Who's Mumia? Who's Mumia? Google it. So he googled it. It said that he was a cop killer who was on death row. I was like aww that's boring.... and went about my day.
So Now I'm sitting here you know killing time and what not on hiphopdx.com... and I stumble upon an article about Mumia. I decide to read it. I thought I should share it with anyone who is willing to read it. It made me really thankful (for my predecessors who sacrificed themselves to change what they thought was wrong) and really upset.
I remember in my freshman year of highschool I was really into The Black Panthers and Angela Davis and Huey Newton. I even had a book on Huey Newton. I wore My Angela Davis Tee shirt on picture day. (It was just about my worst school picture ever)
I now want to read more about Assata Shakur, Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, and that ethiopian person who did something in ethiopia that is worth reading about... Haile... I forget their name. Oops
But Yeah I want to learn more about this sort of stuff. The sort of stuff that the media and government has hidden from us.
