In the early 1970s, an underground culture emerged from the inner city streets of New York City. It was a movement that combined music, dance, art and spoken word poetry to create a unique and authentic sound that resonated with young people from all walks of life. Today, 50 years later, Hip-Hop is a worldwide cultural phenomenon that has impacted and influenced millions around the world. To celebrate this milestone, AllHipHop.com and the Delaware Art Museum have joined forces to present the Inaugural Hip-Hop Cultural Summit on Saturday, October 7, 2023, from 10 AM to 4 PM.
