Mic Check: Hip Hop Music, Art, Politics & Power In-Person

Hip hop emerged from the streets of the Bronx in the 1970s and has grown into one of the most influential cultural movements of our time.  The Mic Check: Hip Hop Music, Art, Politics & Power explores hip hop's multifaceted impact—from its musical innovations and artistic expressions to its role as a vehicle for social justice and political activism. Discover the pioneers who shaped the culture, the women whose contributions have been essential yet often overlooked, and how hip hop continues to challenge, inspire, and transform communities around the world. Whether you're studying its poetic techniques, examining its economic influence, or understanding its power to give voice to the marginalized, these resources reveal hip hop as both mirror and maker of contemporary culture.
