DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND THE HIP HOP GENERATION 
August 8-10, 2004
Queens, NY
The August 2004 forum, Domestic Violence and the Hip Hop Generation, delved into challenges that are creating barriers to positive facets of the hip hop movement. The forum further exploered the potential of hip hop music as a vehicle through which to mitigate the violence facing this generation. We encourage you to keep an open mind about a musical genre that has - for better or worse - made a lasting impression on our culture. Focus on the positive energies that can be harnessed to bring about change, because at the end of the day, we'll need to have all segments of the population on board - including the hip hop generation - if we are to end the violence that is destroying the fabric of America.
