Emerald Street: A History of Hip Hop in Seattle
Emerald Street: A History of Hip Hop in Seattle is about how four decades of hip hop music have brought people together, not just as a means of self-expression, but also as a way to organize.
Author and Humanities professor at Seattle Central College, Daudi Abe, weaves together the dynamic stories of a uniquely Pacific Northwest community-based and multi-ethnic collaboration of rap, DJing, breaking, and graffiti in Emerald Street: A History of Hip Hop in Seattle. Learn about how Seattle hip-hop shaped our region’s politics, relationships between communities of color and law enforcement, the changing media scene, and youth outreach and educational programs, and how these shape the current and future scene for Seattle.
As a part of our Book-O-Rama series, Wing Luke Museum hosted a free, live virtual event on Saturday, May 22, 2021 at 2:30PM with Daudi Abe, moderated by Nasty Nes.
