About this Program
This section will focus on Hip Hop as a legitimate vehicle for social change. It will explore music and music videos as news, commentary, and protest. We will explore how artists have traditionally responded to violence and injustice within their communities and how the world has responded to this. We will highlight specific, high-profile incidents, such as the deaths of Rodney King and Trayvon Martin, but also the overall role and influence of music in politics.
