The Teachers College Center on History and Education is pleased to present the film Rubble Kings, a 1970s story about the Bronx. Out of the rubble, in a community let down by the promise of the civil rights movement, where gang violence ruled, the creative and political expression of hip-hop culture was born. Discussion with director Shan Nicholson and Teachers College professor Chris Emdin, author of Urban Science Education for the Hip-hop Generation, will follow the screening.
(Film: 1 hour and 8 minutes. )
The event is presented in collaboration with Teachers College Racial Literacy Roundtables/The Vice President’s Office for Community and Diversity and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, Junior Scholars Program.
