Around the same time, I did my vocal part for the Dutch language exam of my highschool graduation: a speech about Hip Hop culture in general and rap music in particular, as a conduit for the development and advancement of black (self-)awareness.

As I wouldn't know where to find a transcript of said speech, as I do not bare a darkly colored skin, as #blackhistorymonth encompasses an area of cultural heritage, contemporary contemplations and reflections, an area much wider than the individual, or, as someone else might sum all of this up in five words, as "this is not about me", I much rather share a wink and a laugh, once received with a roflcopter-mode response, and yet again here & now, combined with a planet-wide embrace.

Peace - not the word in deed
but the very path under my feet
