:49:01
- What?
- Knowledge is power!
:49:04
Come on, sister.
:49:12
Now, if we allow
the administration...
:49:15
to cut back on ethnic studies...
:49:18
we will be letting them deny
the contributions...
:49:20
of all of our cultures
that made this country great.
:49:24
Knowledge is power!
:49:30
Come on, y'all.
Clap with me now.
:49:34
Listen here.
:49:36
Everybody wants to be a rebel
:49:38
Well, a rebel without a cause
can turn into a devil
:49:40
For a moment just take a pause
:49:41
So we can reach a lever
:49:42
To open up the doors,
eliminate the gap
:49:44
You're searching for
perfection in somebody else
:49:46
You sacrifice yourself
for his illegal wealth
:49:49
Living in the image
of a man what you are
:49:51
You're just another Jackie
who wants to be a star
:49:52
As far as I'm concerned,
I'm getting quite annoyed
:49:55
There was a brain
that had nothin', just a void
:49:57
Filled with
materialistic thoughts
:49:59
Of cars and dolls,
things you just bought
:50:01
Drugs people sold,
but I'm gonna rise like a tower
:50:03
Tellin' all the people
that it's time to devour
:50:05
you see, the future
that we live in is ours
:50:08
Because knowledge,
it is power
:50:10
Knowledge is power
:50:13
Check it out, intelligence
captivates my mind
:50:16
I'm gonna succeed with
my brain and not my behind
:50:18
'Cause I don't feel
that as a black woman
:50:20
I should give up the booty
if the boss thinks it's boomin'
:50:23
Or some people
who move up on others
:50:25
Like they own 'em
and they don't treat 'em equal
:50:27
Can't you see?
This is racist, racist, racist
:50:29
Where they chase us
:50:31
Away from knowing who we are
and where we came from
:50:33
I ain't stopping
until we gots this game on
:50:35
'Cause I know this is the hour
to make knowledge equal power
:50:39
Scream it, scream it
:50:41
Knowledge
:50:42
Is power
:50:46
Thank you.
:50:49
Right now I would like
to introduce our next speaker.
:50:52
Professor Sinclair.
:50:57
Thank you, Zora.
