“America’s first language is VIOLENCE"– says Civil Rights Attorney and Founder of CFCAO, Black Superhero Project Charles Coleman. Hip-Politics tackles the recent events consuming the American psyche – systemic racism in America. The present moment is a defining one in this nation’s long arc toward justice. From that small patch of Minnesota pavement, George Floyd’s dying breath has become a wind of change, pushing so many Americans to bend the establishment and the public’s imagination toward true equality for all Americans. We are not only asking what needs to be done to create true justice, but also how equality and justice have eluded this country for so long. How do we reckon with and dismantle the systemic racism that has been at the foundation of this country? Join Hip-Politics as we have a candid yet raw conversation regarding the changing times in our country.”

HipPolitics – where Hip Hop and Politics come together as one to explain some of the toughest issues facing our communities today.
