The Hip Hop Cultural Movement website is designed as an extension of the Hip Hop Culture Seminar being launched as part of the 2015 Center for Academic Success and Achievement (CASA) freshman summer program at Morgan State University (MSU). The purpose of the course and the website is to examine the origin and various aspects of hip hop culture including the artists, music, dance, fashion, language and visual arts. Participants in the course will provide feedback from group discussions, explore the relationship between hip hop culture and urban youth, and share information, images, knowledge, and insight about hip hop culture. Sanctioned by CASA director, Dr. Brenda James, and developed and facilitated by former CASA English tutor and book club facilitator, Titilayo Akanke, now a full time lecturer in the Department of English and Language Arts at MSU, the Hip Hop Culture Seminar is an innovative addition to the freshman program. The course and this website will strive to uphold CASA's tradition of addressing issues affecting youth and facilitating their participation in the process.
