Dr. Marc Lamont Hill is considered one of the country's leading intellectuals of the hip-hop generation. Hill joins us by phone to discuss hip-hop culture and its impact on the African-American community and mainstream America. Dr. Hill presents a lecture in Bloomington Wednesday February 10 at 7 p.m. in Alumni Hall at the Indiana Memorial Union. Also in this program: the second in a special four-part series of our black history segment "Dark Past Bright Future" brings you oral histories from elder African-Americans recalling the days of segregation in Bloomington. This week's segment features an interview with Betty Newman on social life in local black culture during the years of segregation. Our featured musical selection is the underground hip-hop track "Sphere of Hip-Hop" by Mars ILL, an emcee/DJ hip-hop duo from Atlanta, Georgia. As always, Bring It On! features regional and national news and a regional calendar highlighting events relevant to the local African-American community. Hosted by Breshaun Joyner and Cornelius Wright.
