Born in the Bronx...Baby!

[from CU Archivist Katherine Reagan] "The purpose of the symposium is to engage a diverse and cross-disciplinary audience of undergraduates, graduate students and faculty in a dialogue on the meaning and evolution of Hip Hop culture from the 1970's to the present day. Since its arrival last last summer, the Hip Hop collection has generated exceptional excitement and engagement from across multiple campus constiuencies."
