Don't Call It A Comeback: Hip Hop Humanities

Wednesday, November 18, 2025

8:00am-4:30pm

Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library

 

When you think of hip hop, do you think of Run DMC, Tupac, Lauren Hill, or maybe DJ Kool Herc, or one of the many other artists who have left their mark on this genre? The institution of hip hop has developed rapidly and drastically since its popularity grew in the late 1970s. 

Hip hop is not just a great set of beats or impressive lyrics. It's a movement. It's expression. It's history. At the LBJ Library, we welcome K-12 educators to join us for a day of exploring the history of hip hop, the role it can play in your instructional space, and how it can be harnessed as a classroom tool. 

Joining us on this day of learning are:

Participants will receive 8 hours of CPE credit, breakfast & lunch, classroom resources, and plenty of information to keep you going.

Registration is $20 per participant.  Space is limited-- so register today!
