WORD OF FIRE: BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH
In late 2003, rasta performance poet Benjamin Zephaniah got an invite to receive the title OBE or “Officer of the Order of the British Empire” from the Queen of England. Here’s his reply:
“Me? I thought, OBE me? Up yours, I thought. I get angry when I hear that word “empire”; it reminds me of slavery, it reminds of thousands of years of brutality, it reminds me of how my foremothers were raped and my forefathers brutalised.”
