Recorded at Howard College, the panel introduced collectively students from 3 HBCUs within the Washington, DC space to debate the importance of instructing hip hop in Black educational areas, the connection between hip hop and activism, and the duty of HBCUs to protect, interrogate, and advance Black cultural data.
