EBONY: Your album ends with the title track, “The Revolution Has Come,” and it’s so hopeful. You declare “We’ve already won.” How do you maintain hope in the face of a history, a present and a future that seems very unhopeful?
REV. SEKOU: That’s part of what it means to be Black in America: to be hopeful in the face of hopelessness. My grandmama sang a song: “I’m too busy working for my Jesus/I ain’t got time to die.” That’s just who we are.
