Summary

"The hip-hop movement began in the 1970s. It included music and other forms of self-expression. Hip-hop music has evolved since then. [...] But it has similar themes and messages. It is still a way for Black people and minorities to express themselves. It continues to bring attention to social issues, such as discrimination and poverty. It has the power to inspire change. Please join me in exploring the history and evolution of hip-hop."--Page 4.
