A.C.T.O.R. presents: Global Hip-Hop Identities: Race, Space, and Place
A discussion presented in partnership with Words, Beats & Life.Â
The event will discuss the evolution of hip-hop into a multinational, multiracial, and multiethnic force that plays a significant role in local and global economics, politics, and grassroots activism. We will also explore with our panel the ways in which identities are developed and articulated, which delves into issues of migration, immigration, segregation, and spatial entitlement. Â
Our December A.C.T.O.R. will be a discussion on the racial and social justice agenda of hip-hop in partnership with Words, Beats & Life.  Click here to learn more about Words, Beats & Life, one of Busboys and Poets' oldest community partners.Â
The A.C.T.O.R. (A Continuing Talk on Race) open discussion series is hosted by Busboys and Poets as a community service. It provides the opportunity for people to come together and speak openly and honestly about issues of race. The intent is that each person walks away from the discussion feeling something: challenged, educated, uncomfortable, enlightened, refreshed, reassured and hopefully inspired and moved to action! Each month there is a new topic for discussion.
Free and open to all. To be added to the A.C.T.O.R. email list, please email press@busboysandpoets.com
A.C.T.O.R. is held on the first Sunday of every month at Busboys and Poets 14 th & V; 5:00 PM.
