History
The First Annual Symposium on Hip Hop Culture took place November 4-5, 2005. Titled IN THE MIX: Cross Dialogues Regarding Hip Hop Culture, it was designed to facilitate discussion about what has been called “one of the most important phenomena in popular culture since television.” Activities included panel presentations, breakout discussions, performances, films and critiques, a fashion show, and an awards banquet.
