Ewuare X. Osayande on Hip Hop

How do racism, sexism, and capitalism work together to systemically attack the integrity of Black life and culture? Activist, author, and organizer Ewuare X. Osayande highlights the history of African resistance on Turtle Island and the impact of marketing masculinity through hip hop on Black youth.

This is the latest in GG shorts recently released by Green Guerrillas Youth Media Tech Collective.  The teen who edited this piece has been a part of our Collective for less than two months! By connecting the dots between the same ideological approaches which criminalize immigrant communities and pollute the air, water, and soil we all collectively need for survival, these young people are non-traditional leaders who are setting a powerful example for an entire community.

Happy Earthday Mumia!
