The Third World Press Foundation presented a discussion on race and hip-hop. Amina Norman-Hawkins moderated a panel with authors and activists at the Betty Shabazz International Charter School of the Institute of Positive Education in Chicago. Kevin Coval began by reading his poetry. Among topics discussed were the roots of hip-hop and its melding of cultures, racial relations with multiple races, hip-hop as a revolutionary political mode, and the commercialization of hip-hop. The panelists responded to questions from members of the audience.
