Intro

[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

Talib Kweli.
