Opening by local hip hop successes- Geologic of Blue Scholars, UW and OMA ECC/T Alumni

 

Boots Riley is the co-founder and primary producer of the renowned hip hop group The Coup.  Raised amongst political action in Oakland, Riley has been involved in organizing and inspiring youth since he was a teenager.  From student organizing in public schools, serving on the central committee for InCAR (International Committee Against Racism), and organizing to build California's Anti-Racist Farm Workers' Union, Riley has been an integral part of a progressive struggle for radical change through culture.  

 

Riley's activism, from local issues to international ones, has set an unprecedented standard of political organizing among hip hop artists.  Join us for a night of candid thoughts, spoken words and Q & A.
