Public Enemy Supports ONE
Public Enemy frontman Chuck D visited Webster University on Monday to talk about “Race, Rap and Reality.” This title encompassed numerous topics including media, the music industry, politics, and a lot on history and culture.
“There is only one race, people-the human race.” Chuck D said. “Culture brings humans together because of their similarities and suppresses their differences.”
“If you don’t have one, get a passport!” he continuosly told the audience. He said that less than 25 percent of Americans have a passport and only 30 percent of congress have passports. I thought this was interesting given ONE’s current campaign which is calling on presidential candidates to promise to travel to Africa during their first term.
Afterwards, I caught up with Chuck D to tell him aboout the ONE Campaign and give him a band. He was very supportive and posed for a picture with me and some of the other ONE Webster members while sporting his new ONE band.
