The Future American Classroom with Dr. Chris Emdin
Description
In his 1997 hit track, ‘Kick the Door,’ legendary hip hop artist, Biggie Smalls raps, “Stay low and keep firing,” speaking about the violent reality he grew up in.
But my guest today, Dr. Chris Emdin has taken this as his mantra for life. For him, it is about staying low amidst the hurdles of life and keep shooting to make a difference in the world. Dr. Emdin is a professor at Columbia University’s Teachers College and the creator of HipHopEd. Today, he tells us what hip hop culture has to offer to the American classroom.
