(The Hip-Hop Generation and the Need for New Leadership):
this workshop will delve into the current state of Black leadership in America. Additionally, students will understand how hip-hop culture is the most influential, and the only universal social phenomenon in the American marketplace. With this being said, it is imperative for the next generation of leaders to understand its past and present power in order to effectively use it to influence political, economic and social policy.
(Hip-Hop v. Rap - A Historical Perspective):
this workshop offers an historical perspective of Hip-Hop culture from its conception to present day. The elements of the culture will be highlighted and explored. Additionally, we will break down the love-hate-love relationship between hip-hop and American society. Lastly we will discuss and explore the un-seen corporate forces that are negatively influencing Hip-Hop Culture.
(The Dwindling Number of Men of Color on College Campuses):
this workshop explores the crisis of the shortage of men of color in institutions of higher education. Along the way we will spotlight social barriers that have and continue to impede these young men from achieving academically. Lastly, recommendations and solutions will be introduced in order to empower our young men to overcome these social barriers.
