Description

Today's History Story: Gil Scott-Heron

What is hip hop, really? While hip hop music has become an international phenomenon and multi-billion dollar business, folks often forget that hip hop is bigger than music alone - it's a culture rich with history and lessons that could benefit our people more than ever today. Today, on Black History Year, we're remembering the true essence of hip hop, and doing so with the help of none other than Dr. Joycelyn Wilson, whose innovative STEAM programming is ensuring future generations benefit from the innate lessons within this coveted subculture.

Dr. Joycelyn Wilson is an integrative curriculum designer, cultural studies educator, and faculty of Hip Hop Studies and Digital Media in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication at Georgia Tech. She founded the HipHop2020 Innovation Archive, an ed-tech start-up inspired by the intersection of teaching and learning in hip hop culture, and co-created Your Voice Is Power, a curriculum learning experience with modules that teach how music, computer science, and entrepreneurship can be tools to fight racism.

Learning your history makes you - and your people - stronger. As Black people, we know we’re left out of the history books. That the media images are skewed. That we need access to experts, information and ideas so we can advance our people. Black History Year connects you to the history, thinkers, and activists that are left out of the mainstream conversations. You may not agree with everything you hear, but we’re always working toward one goal: uniting for the best interest of Black people worldwide. BHY is produced by PushBlack, the nation’s largest non-profit Black media company - hit us up at BlackHistoryYear.com.
