Shouts Out and Mad Love....

....goes to Harvard for recently hosting a Conference on "The Role of African Hip Hop." The conference was held on March 13-15 2008. The two-day event featured African Hip Hop artists and panelists from across the Dispora. Check out the conference details at: http://www.africanhiphopproject.org/Conference/.

Thanks to my homegirl and colleague Del Hornbuckle, filmaker and Associate Director for Access Services in the Baker Library at the Harvard Business School for giving me a heads up about this conference as Cornell University Library plans its own.

Personal thanks to the sponsors and supporters of the Harvard Conference for recognizing the importance of Hip Hop in global cultures "not only as an art form but as a cultural force that shapes youth culture and affects social change globally." I wish I coulda been there.

One Luv,
Ira
