Beyond the Hip Hop Generation!

It's Bigger Than Hip Hop   by M.K. Asante

A must read for teachers working with teens -especially teens of color.  Asante not only reviews the important and not so often heard history of America and Hip Hop but he paves a way for a future vision of hope that needs to be made known to our students.  I recommend this book for both teachers and teens -especially older teens.

Book Release 2/12/12: Local authors publish anthology with focus on African American youth!

"The Color of Strength is the work of twenty-four African American writers who share one common goal and that is to present our youth with a range of stories, essays, and short autobiographies about the grace, beauty, and strength of their culture.  As we move into the second decade of the 21st Century, it is becoming increasingly important that young Black Americans know their history."   -Frederick Williams, editor.
