Quote of the Day
Written by Ed on August 22nd, 2008“If we espouse the belief that each student must be able to read for understanding, think critically, problem solve and reason; if we espouse a focus on developing the literacy skills of each student; and if choose to engage marginalized students who are our most reluctant readers, then we need to incorporate hip-hop into our curriculum as a valid form of written, linguistic, and aesthetic art. Analysis of hip-hop, both critical and affirming, must become an integral part of our classrooms.”
Camilla Greene, in “Hip Hop: A Crucial Addition to the Curriculum” (2006)
