We continue our “Open Mike” series with a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. James Peterson, a professor of English at Bucknell University, author of two upcoming books on hip-hop culture, and self-professed hip-hop scholar. Peterson writes broadly and brilliantly about the underground, the nature of narrative, and the intersection of black expression, social struggle, and popular culture. As we look toward the commemoration of the 47th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington, Peterson surveys the culture and political landscape over the years hence, and offers an assessment of the status of black America and its progress toward the dream that Dr. Martin Luther King articulated. From education, politics, and policy, to the arts, religion, and religious institutions, Peterson offers reasoned critical analysis on the most important themes and prominent figures in black American culture, and follows the through line from the civil rights era to the hip-hop generation.
