[Chapelle]

Our keynote speaker is about to come on and I just wanted to say a few words


about him and you all know who he is... Talib Kweli! Please, hold your applause


until the end. We are GLAD to come and hear you speak. We love it! Kweli 

doesn't like me to talk about this but one time we were driving through the


Mississippi delta and there was a brotha runnin up the side of the road and he


didn't have any shoes on. He didn't have a shirt on and I started to drive 

right by this man. Kweli said "Stop the car because that brotha might be
in 

trouble" and I stopped the car. Kweli said to the man he said "Brotha
are you 

ok do you need a ride somewhere?" and the man looked at Kweli and said


"Shhhhhh... I'm escapin!" and Kweli took him by the hand and said
"My brotha 

you didn't get the memo, we have been free for some time now" well I'm
wisinen 

up. Please welcome good friend, scholar, ghetto philosopher, three time Nobel


peace prize winner, first black man to pilot an aircraft, the nigga that made


up the Nike swoosh, the man that made Koolaid say "oh yeah!"
Brooklyn's own... 

Talib Kweli.
