Which Way Seattle' Series: The Black Face of Hip-Hop

Which Way Seattle? Series: The Black Face of Hip-hop Co-sponsored by the Dope Emporium Thursday February 19, 2009 7pm at Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center 104 17th Ave. S (Near Yesler); Seattle, WA Which Way Seattle? is an ongoing series of civic dialogues about local and political affairs that directly impact Seattle-s African-American community. Hip-Hop has deep roots in Seattle and the Northwest. Black Hip-Hop artists have pioneered and set the groundwork for many Northwest Hip-Hop artists. Does this history relate to the present representation and influence of Black people in the Hip-Hop industry? Is there a ?political narrowness? around the dialogue of race and Hip-Hop and the view of what is ?conscious? Hip-Hop? Join us as we address these complex issues and recognize the roots of Hip-Hop in Seattle. Tickets: $5/ FREE for Students/seniors Order online at www.BrownPaperTickets.com or call 1-800-838-3006.
