Discover the history behind not only the Northwest’s Grammy-winning rappers, but its world champion break dance crew, its internationally read hip-hop magazine, the producers who collaborated with some of the biggest names in music, its world-renowned clothing designers, and the grassroots organizations dedicated to community service and education in “Emerald Street: Race, Class, Culture and the History of Hip Hop in the Northwest.” Discover how Northwest hip hop is a living document of our region’s social and political movements, styles, energies, and ideologies, and how it embodies a unique sense of community. Daudi Abe is brought to the library by the Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau.
