that is a empty speaker box which a

13
00:00:45,090 --> 00:00:52,320
speaker box is a least back when I was

14
00:00:48,270 --> 00:00:54,660
growing up in 80s and 90s that were put

15
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,950
in the back of a automobile and you know

16
00:00:54,660 --> 00:00:57,450
you were sitting at home in the

17
00:00:55,950 --> 00:00:59,640
neighborhood and all of a sudden your

18
00:00:57,450 --> 00:01:01,800
windows start rattling because this

19
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,930
booming sound is hitting your you know

20
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:07,890
the house the boxing gloves on the

professional gloves and more like the

23
00:01:09,299 --> 00:01:15,479
training you've south glove so in

24
00:01:11,490 --> 00:01:17,520
essence it symbolizes the from

00:01:15,479 --> 00:01:19,499
generation to generation to the fight

26
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:22,319
against oppression that happens and so

27
00:01:19,499 --> 00:01:23,880
using those training gloves now is more

28
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:27,149
like the idea of that the youth are

29
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:29,789
still fighting for equal human rights

00:01:27,149 --> 00:01:31,979

00:01:29,789 --> 00:01:33,560
Ferguson and the whole idea of police

32
00:01:31,979 --> 00:01:35,969
brutality against black men nowadays
