Colonialism is the Lens and Hip-Hop is the
Mirror
Jared A. Ball, Ph.D. Green Institute Communications
Fellow
It is July 29, 2007 and Washington, DC
is in full focus. Its hip-hop community
is doing big things with D’mite’s (Bomani
Armah) “Read A Book,” making waves, we recently
celebrated Hip-Hop Theater, Head-Roc is
on the rise in progressive politics,* and
DC’s Petey Greene is again popular. It is
also days after a new report announced that
the number of juveniles being held in our
jails has tripled. READ>>

Green Party, Jared Ball of FreeMix Radio,
Elaine Brown former chairperson of the Black
Panther Party, Audrey Thayer of the White
Earth Nation and Green Institute, Jared
Wilkens of Democracy Unlimited and Tom Goldtooth
