Friday marks the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, and for “Closer Look’s” “Hip Hop at 50” series, class is in session.
On Friday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Rose, the “Closer Look” team and WABE staff participate in a live class session, as Georgia Tech professor Joycelyn Wilson would teach, that focuses on the genre’s transformative influence on culture, social justice and education.
Wilson, whose research focuses on African American expressive traditions, hip-hop culture, digital humanities and social justice STEM education, leads the class.
