- 6:41Speaker 1: To see all of these people that have died and
- 6:44Speaker 1: made the ultimate sacrifice to build these universities. You know.
- 6:48Speaker 1: I went and stood on the grades. I was standing
- 6:51Speaker 1: in between the graves of George Washington Carver in Book
- 6:54Speaker 1: of t Washington. And when I looked across the campus
- 6:57Speaker 1: of Tuskegeon saw kids walking to school, and I broke
- 7:00Speaker 1: down and cried. I broke down. I literally broke down
- 7:05Speaker 1: and cried to see these educated black men during times
- 7:08Speaker 1: of slavery to have to put together a university called
- 7:13Speaker 1: Tuskegee Institute. And I and it was almost like I
- 7:18Speaker 1: wanted to follow my knee, you know, because I felt
- 7:21Speaker 1: like I was on holy ground for somebody to do
- 7:24Speaker 1: something like that and make us who hey, you know, Recie,
- 7:28Speaker 1: I get choked up when I talked about it, because
- 7:31Speaker 1: because if you think about think about where people went
- 7:36Speaker 1: through back then, just where our kids and for years
- 7:40Speaker 1: and years and years for everybody to have what they
- 7:43Speaker 1: have and for the sacrifices that people made to put
- 7:47Speaker 1: together these wonderful institutions like more House and Spellmen in
- 7:51Speaker 1: Alabama State Alabama and them Grambling UH University is to
- 7:56Speaker 1: educate Postman, because I promise you you don't get the
- 7:58Speaker 1: same treatment. You know, when you go to other go
- 8:01Speaker 1: to the university, you get the police called on your
- 8:04Speaker 1: while sleeping in the dorm and and all of the stuff.
- 8:07Speaker 1: And you just a number when you go to these
- 8:08Speaker 1: other schools. But but man, you know, all of these
- 8:11Speaker 1: wonderful people that have put together and organized for us
- 8:16Speaker 1: to have universities to attend. It is life changing. And
- 8:20Speaker 1: and I just get emotionally when I talk about it,
- 8:23Speaker 1: because man, if you ain't never been to a commencement
- 8:27Speaker 1: exercise or a football game or basketball game at of
- 8:30Speaker 1: h b c U, it's part of your DNA is
- 8:33Speaker 1: who you are as a human being, and it just
- 8:37Speaker 1: I help you. I just identify and make you so
- 8:39Speaker 1: proud to be black, you know. And I just appreciate man,
- 8:44Speaker 1: and honor in memory of people like bookat Washington and
- 8:48Speaker 1: and all of these people and our founders that found
- 8:51Speaker 1: it out great fraternities and sororities and and and and there.
- 8:56Speaker 1: What they had to do with nothing and no resources
- 8:58Speaker 1: and made all these wonderful things happening for us to
- 9:01Speaker 1: carry that legacy, I take it serious. And thank you
- 9:05Speaker 1: for asking me that. You know, I really got to
- 9:07Speaker 1: get emotional, because you know, Chi, I can't even tell
- 9:10Speaker 1: you know how I felt when I stood on on
- 9:14Speaker 1: their grave, the Book of two Washington. It meant a
- 9:19Speaker 1: lot to me, you know, and uh, you know, I
- 9:23Speaker 1: had tears coming down in my eyes. Man. And then
- 9:25Speaker 1: when you just look acy these kids with their headphones on,
- 9:28Speaker 1: with the backpacks walking to class, and and and and
- 9:32Speaker 1: and that's why I believe in voting. I believe in
- 9:36Speaker 1: getting out doing the right thing, trying to help people,
- 9:38Speaker 1: educate people, love people, feed people, encourage people, not make
- 9:42Speaker 1: everything about me, and to get out and be a
- 9:45Speaker 1: part of that legacy as where you know, it's cool
- 9:48Speaker 1: being a comedian and being on tour and doing all
- 9:51Speaker 1: this stuff, but I used that platform to do good,
- 9:55Speaker 1: to continue to educate and love and motivate and and
- 10:00Speaker 1: and love all of this stuff. So you know, uh,
- 10:04Speaker 1: I don't know, man, that was suppsed to be talking
