Chuck D & Dr. Gaye Johnson @ SFSU!

Hiphop pioneer Chuck D and UCSB Black Studies professor Dr. Gaye Johnson conversed with students on the topics of art, technology, education and activism on Thursday, February 4 at 11am in Jack Adams Hall of the Cesar Chavez Student Center at San Francisco State University. Being that SFSU is the birthplace of Black Studies in US universities and that SFSU still hosts the only College of Ethnic Studies, the event was slotted as a 'sort of homecoming' for those who position Hiphop as part of the larger Black Studies and Ethnic Studies movements.

This event was organized by the Black Student Union with support from the Department of Africana Studies and the College of Ethnic Studies at SFSU.
