Lola Wright interviews the extraordinary artist, activist, and provocateur, Saul Williams.

In this excerpt, Williams discusses his upbringing in an activist Christian community, the freedom his parents gave him to question and to express himself, and how his history professor at Morehouse College introduced him to truths that could not or were not taught in the institution of the church.

Williams comes into the genius of his self-expression when Wright quotes a line from his most recent album – “Jesus wouldn’t be caught dead in your church.”
