Throwback Thursdays: Public Enemy

DateThursday, August 15, 2013 at 8:59AM

Been thinking about PE a lot lately. Going to school in the late 80's/early 90's in middle America, we were never taught the whole truth. Our history has been conveniently rewritten in order to prop up a fascade. I had never heard about Farrakhan or Elijah Muhammad or Marcus Garvey. Who were these men and what did they do? PE were my personal urban culture professors prompting me to dig further, learn more. I remember seeing them do this song on SNL when Michael Jordan hosted. Big time.
