“History tells us nothing moves without young people being involved,” Kweli said at a crowded press conference late last week. “If the youth aren’t involved, I don’t want to be part of it.”
Surrounding Kweli were dozens of Dream Defenders, who wore black tee shirts with the words, “Can We Dream Together,” as Kweli explained why he supported the protest. Click here for more details, join the movement.
