Hip hop playing role in global political dissent

 

An eye-opening presentation on the role of hip hop culture as a spark for global liberation culminated the final day of the McMaster Symposium and Collegiate Global Summit Thursday at Defiance College.

"Some people may be surprised to hear 'hip hop' and 'liberty' in the same title," said keynote speaker Amer Ahmed, associate director in the Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Affairs at the University of Michigan, "but hip hop is playing an integral role in the realities going on (in North Africa and the Middle East) as we speak."
