Bell RingerHow do you think music can promote peace and unity?

As a young child, Keven Donovan (Afrika Bambaataa) watches the movie Zulu. The movie depicts A Zulu warlord that unified African tribes to resist British occupation in the 1800’s

• Keven Donovan joins the blacks spades gang as a young teenager

• The black spades is a New York Gang based on the Ideals of the Nation of Islam, Malcom X, and the Black Panther Party

• The gangs violently fought back against Drug Dealers, racists, and rival gangs

• Keven Donovan quickly becomes one of the most successful Warlords in the Black Spades

• He spreads Black Spades Territory by forging relationships with neighboring gangs

• Donovan becomes known as Afrikka Bambaataa, turns the Black spades into the Universal Zulu Nation, and organizes Hip-Hop parties all around New York. Violence between rival gangs decreases dramatically.
