00:00The first thing you have to understand in your history, know where you came from.
00:07We came from Queens, Kings.
00:11They still haven't, white folks still don't know how we built the pyramid or the Sphinx.
00:18Still haven't figured it out.
00:21And that's greater than building a nuclear bomb. A nuclear bomb kills people, weapons.
00:27We're about peace, and we're the most creative people on this earth, so that's about it.
00:33The key thing is, you never want to be on the wrong side of history.
00:39That's true.
00:41You never want to, I don't care what it was, how much money you got, whatever.
00:46When this thing is written, you want to be on the right side of history.
00:53And for so long, art, especially art that has been made for mass audiences, has been a matter of distraction rather than living in your truth.
01:04And I think that truth is, to tell the truth is to be a revolution, and to live in your truth is to be a revolutionary.
01:11And so, to be able to move on to this next show, in which we are so willing to tell the truth as it is, and as ugly as it can be, and as pretty as it can be,
01:23I feel like will allow for a space that allows people to understand that our experience isn't monolithic, nor should it be.
01:29And there's room for all of it to exist and thrive, rather than survive.
01:33Because for so long, we have been put on this earth and just focused on survival, because of our circumstances.
01:38And we deserve this space, as the black community, as a community of people of color, to be able to thrive within this world.
01:44Yes.
01:45Absolutely.
01:46That's right.
01:48That's right.
