it is a theory that is already bearing fruit, in senegal. reporter: he is returning to a place full of bad memories. 10 years ago he paid 500 euros to take a fishing boat to the canary islands, the spanish province off the west coast of africa. he thought he would have a better life there and be able to send money back to his family in senegal. "i started out on this very beach, but the trip was so risky. i will never do anything like that again. life and death are no longer in your hands. those six days were the worst days of my life." he was picked up by the spanish coast guard and immediately deported back to senegal. since then, the tide of migrants has fallen to a trickle, and the village has returned to fishing. the reason that those votes are not leaving for europe anymore is mainly because of the increased border patrols on the spanish side. people who want to get to europe choose other words like the ones through libya. some people also say the economic situation here has slowly improved. one of those optimists is the deputy mayor.

as we talked i realized, she got me real passionate, oh, you're going to senegal the next time i go. >> you were saying that something resonated with you. >> both of you, the entrepreneurship, but also how you found your voice in words. for me, i had rejected school, right? i didn't relate to it. it was boring and it was racist, and it was a lot of things about it that i was just like, i'm just here wasting my time and energy. and one of my teachers, in ninth grade -- this is how backwards it was -- in ninth grade, i had never heard of malcolm x, black panther party, or none of the victorious side of our culture, right? so -- but i always rapped, right? i was rapping, and she was like you're always rapping, but what are you talking about? you know? and so she gave me a challenge. she was like, i'm going to give you these -- these books. it was like some brown leather ebony books. she was, like, soak that up. in my language i'm saying -- i forgot what she said, but she was, like, soak that up, and if you can write a rhyme about black history, i'll let you perform at the first ever bla
