“I own my own masters”: An exhibit on slavery references in rap music

For the second year, I hosted, “'I own my own masters': An exhibit on slavery references in rap music" -- a visual and audio project based on mentions of slavery and struggles for liberation in rap music. The exhibit is based on an article that Jeremiah Carter and I co-wrote and published last year. Our article identifies and explains “slavery references” in rap music.

On  September 13, I organized the exhibit for students in a few of my classes. The exhibit took place in the EBR Learning Center.
