Take the 2023 PBS Survey: to.pbs.org/pbssurvey2023hhop
Hip-hop has a long history of representing and championing underserved communities as an activist voice and movement builder. Since it’s beginnings, artists have used the power of song to reflect on social injustices, discrimination, and the struggles people face in inequitable societies. Groups like Public Enemy, often referring to themselves as the “Black CNN”, used their platform and music to critique and inform audiences of actual events that shaped our collective experiences. In this episode we’ll meet artists who continue Hip-Hop's revolutionary legacy using new technologies to voice their lived experience and immerse audiences in the struggle.
