Happy Birthday, Hip Hop! 🎤

On August 11, 1973, a back to schoolparty in the Bronx sparked a cultural movement that has changed music, art, fashion, language and politics around the world. Now more than 50 years later, hip hop continues to inspire creativity and give communities a way to talk about their realities and imagine what the future holds.

Today, the Bunche Center and the Hip Hop Initiative, led by Dr. H Samy Alim, celebrate the artists, DJs, emcees, dancers, writers and communities who built the culture and continue to move it forward.
