Osborne, local college and online professor/lecturer, author, mentor, and hip hop enthusiast will be conducting a brief talk and discussion about the significance of  Hip Hop as an educational curriculum and Hip Hop Culture's current day impact. The brief lecture will focus on what inspired the author to write these books, The Hip Hop Lectures (Volume 1 & 2), and briefly explain some of the contradictions in history that have impacted the current negativity and positivity in Hip Hop culture (as a whole); including rap artists, lyrics, elements of Hip Hop culture, and current aspects of society; especially as it relates to recent protests and riots, regarding politics and police.  Attendees of the event are encouraged to ask questions, share thoughts, and participate in the brief discussion.
