Thank you, Afroman, for standing up for freedom of speech and
expression. Our human rights matter, and artists have always been
on the front lines defending them with courage and power.
"This is precisely the time when artists go to
work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need
for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language.
That is how civilizations heal." --Toni Morrison
