Description
"The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" is a poem and song by Gilbert "Gil" Scott-Heron (April 1, 1949 – May 27, 2011). Song was originally a poem, inspired by the death of Gil's College Classmate and friend Ron Colbert in November 1969. Colbert died after suffering from a brain Aneurysm, and going untreated while on Campus. The tragedy could have been avoided if the campus infirmary had been staffed and open around the clock. This led to boycotts, protests and demand for change.
