The Hip Hop Midwest Healing Circle to be held this weekend will include a series of events bringing together campus and community to celebrate hip hop roots in the Midwest.  Lacouir Yancey, one of the producers of the celebration, joins the 8 O’Clock Buzz to discuss the schedule of events, but also to talk about the healing nature of hip hop which encompasses rap, breakdance and art.  There will be a panel discussion on Friday, November 10, at 4:00 pm at Vilas Hall on the UW campus, workshops starting at noon on Saturday, November 11, and a healing cypher and performance from 5:30 – 8:00 pm.  The workshops and performance on Saturday will be held at the Madison Youth Arts Center on E. Mifflin Street.  All events are free.
