King of New York hip-hop and MC extraordinaire Talib Kweli will share an evening of dialogue about “Hip-Hop and Economic Recovery” with journalist/political analyst Bakari Kitwana on the University of Kentucky campus at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 27, in Memorial Hall.
The provocative, highly interactive one-on-one dialogue will challenge students to think more broadly about employment opportunities, global economics, democracy, diversity, community activism, entrepreneurship, innovation and new models of leadership. Drawing on Kweli’s experiences in the industry as an artist, entrepreneur and innovator, issues such as the state of the hip-hop industry, the future of hip-hop, hip-hop and electoral politics, and the role of art in activism will also be considered.
General admission is $7 to the 90-minute conversation with Kweli and Kitwana, which is co-sponsored by the Martin Luther King Jr. Cultural Center; African American and Africana Studies; WRFL-FM; the Stuckert Career Center; the Writing, Rhetoric and Digital Media Program; and the National Association of Black Accountants.
