The Marc Lamont Hill Summit on Hip-Hop and Social Jusice at #A3C16

Written by Mike Walbert | Oct 2

A3C has partnered with Marc Lamont Hill to host a conversation on social justice and Hip-Hop at the A3C Conference on Friday, October 7th from 7:00pm to 8:30pm.  Stic (of Dead Prez), Kawan "KP" Prather and Taj Anwar will be joining Marc Lamont Hill for the very last event of the 2016 A3C Conference.

The discussion will focus on the influence and role Hip-Hop music and culture has played in the recent efforts for social justice in America.  How has Hip-Hop advanced social causes and helped underserved communities, and where has the Hip-Hop community fallen short?  What should be the responsibilities of Hip-Hop artists, and how can they use their platform for real change?  We’ll be discussing the issues that disproportionately affect the Hip-Hop community and solutions to the problems we can fix.

We hope to this conversation will spark action, further debate and real change.
