Dr. Adjapong delves into the origins, evolution, and legacy of hip-hop as a voice for Black identity, resistance, and creativity. He also examines the genre's deep roots in the Bronx, its role in amplifying social justice movements and its global influence as a cultural force. Explore the importance of reflecting on your own teacher identity, and how to authentically incorporate hip-hop in the classroom by valuing your students' cultural connections.
