The Black History 101 Mobile Museum is a national award-winning traveling exhibit that educates and informs the public about the rich and diverse history of African Americans. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, the exhibit will showcase over 150 original artifacts reflecting the evolution of hip-hop culture and its impact on American society, highlighting the contributions of Black artists and innovators in the genre.

This insightful exhibit takes an interesting angle in viewing hip-hop culture through the lens of social movements such as the Anti-Apartheid Movement, Stop the Violence Movement, The Million Man March, and Black Lives Matter. The exhibit also includes historical and cultural artifacts from the trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, Jim Crow, Civil Rights Era, Black Power, and Black Arts Movement.

Join us at noon for “Using Hip-Hop Artifacts to Understand Hip-Hop Culture and its Connection to Broader Black Social, Cultural, and Political Movements” with Dr. Khalid el-Hakim, founder of the Black History 101 Mobile Museum. Details at https://events.umich.edu/event/109913.
