“After his former high school, Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington DC, decides to rename its theatre after him, comedian Dave Chappelle gives a speech at the school. He talks about his history with the school, what the school means to him and the importance of art.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAn interesting, sometimes moving, presentation from Dave Chappelle. I wanted to say u0026quot;stand-up routineu0026quot; as that what I always think of when I see Chappelle up on stage. But it is clearly much more than that. There are elements of humour – you canu0026#39;t expect Chappelle to NOT be funny – but it is a wonderfully sincere and moving telling of what the school means to him and what it has done for him.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHis discussion of the importance of art and not bowing to conformity is also quite telling as it essentially outlines why art exists and why it should never be censored.”
