PA: Well, I was born in Chicago, the son ofa preacher and a teacher. My ears first rung with church songs sung by mymother on Saturday mornings. My father's South Side sermons summoned me. Myfirst words were more notes than quotes. It was music that molded me. Later on,it was Florida A&M University that first introduced me to organizing.In 2012, a young black male named Trayvon Martin was murdered, and it changedmy life and millions of others'. We were a ragtag group of college kids andnot-quite adults who had decided enough was enough. Art and organizing becameour answer to anger and anxiety. We built a movement and it traveled around theworld and to Palestine, in 2015.
阿格纽：好吧，我出生在芝加哥，是一个牧师和老师的孩子。在周六的清晨，萦绕在我耳畔的是我母亲唱的教堂乐曲。我父亲的南方布道也唤召了我。我最早学会的音符比名言更多。是音乐塑造了我。之后，我在佛罗里达农工大学中学到了怎样去组织策划。2012年，一个叫特雷沃恩·马丁的年轻的黑人男性被谋杀了，这改变了我和数百万人的生命轨迹。我们是一群底层社会中的大学生，尚未成年，我们已经受够了。艺术与组织成为了我们对愤怒以及焦虑的解决方式。我们创立了一项传遍全球的运动，在2015年的时候，传到了巴勒斯坦。

AM: I was born to a single mother in thePink House projects of Brooklyn, New York. Maddened by survival, I gravitatedinwards towards books, poems and my brother's hand-me-down Walkman. I sawtrain-station theater, subwoofing streets and hood murals. In high school, Ifound a community of metaphor magicians and truth-telling poets in anorganization called Urban Word NYC. Adopted by the Black Arts movement, I wonthe legendary Nuyorican Poets Cafe Grand Slam title.
莫奈：我是一个单亲妈妈的孩子，在纽约布鲁克林中居住着由粉红房屋计划提供的房子。在被生存逼得抓狂的情况下，我开始投身于书籍、诗歌以及我哥哥二手的随身听。我看着火车站剧院，用低音炮发出的噪音喧哗着整条街与车头的壁画。在高中，我发现了一个由善用比喻的魔术师以及说真话的诗人组成的组织，叫做“纽约城新语”。在被黑人艺术运动接受后，我赢得了传奇新波多黎各诗人俱乐部的大奖。

At Sarah Lawrence College, I worked withartists to respond to Hurricane Katrina and the earthquake; I discovered theimpact of poetry and the ability to not just articulate our feelings, but toget us to work towards changing things and doing something about it, when afriend, Maytha Alhassen, invited me to Palestine ...

I'm going to tell you -- a friend sat medown and said, "You've done so much for organizing, when are you going tosettle down?" I looked him straight in the face and I said, "The onlyway that it would ever happen is if it is a collision. This woman would have toknock me completely off course." I didn't know how right I was.
阿格纽：（叹气）听着，在这发生前的五个月，我全都预测到了。你们得相信我——我的一个朋友让我坐下然后说，“你已经为组织策划做了太多，你打算什么时候安定下来呢？”我直勾勾地看着他的脸说：“令这发生的唯一的办法是一场激烈的碰撞。这个女人得让我完全为她而倾倒。”我不知道我有多正确。
