"F**k gettin' money for real - get freedom"

Okay, yeah...he didn't perform and this wasn't a Roots concert, but effff that - this deserves some love. Philly MC Black Thought marched from the Constitution Center to City Hall on Sunday as part of the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign's effort to bring attention, awareness and action to the issue of education, healthcare and housing for the economically challenged. He was joined by actress Rosario Dawson, actor Paul Dano (the silent brother in Little Miss Sunshine) and countless of other concerned organizations like GeoClan and KWRU (Kensington Welfare Rights Union). The march was straight up grassroots and focused on the issue at hand. Black Thought sporting an ice-grill while carrying a protest sign was merely a bonus.
