From: University Program Board & Black Student Alliance On behalf of the Black Student Alliance and the University Program Board, we celebrate the third annual Hip-Hop Summit this Saturday, December 2, 2006, 2-4 pm in Transitions.Dr. Hicks Harper will bring the key note address this Saturday. Dr. Hicks Harper will address the development of Hip-Hop, beginning simply as a form of expression to becoming a very lucrative commodity in today's mainstream society. After providing Hip-Hop's historical context, she will define its very complex culture in both a broad and narrow sense. Dr. Hicks Harper will focus on Hip-Hop's positive side while acknowledging its negative realities. Relevant excerpts from her new book entitled: Hip-Hop DevelopmentTM: Exploring Hip- Hop as a Youth Engagement Tool for Successful Community Building will be highlighted. "Hip-Hop Development™: From Expression to Commodity" will break down techniques that integrate Hip-Hop in ways that support not only U.S. economy but also the lives of this country's most disadvantaged children, youth, and families. The speech will be followed by a panel discussion and signed copies of Dr. Harper's new book will be available for purchase. |
