Bakari Kitwana, author, "The Hip Hop Generation" and founder of Rap Sessions (www.rapsessions.org)

We had a great time last night at UALR with Rap Sessions. There were six of us on the panel, including Bakari Kitwana (who organized the panel), Lisa Fager Bediako, and MC Serch. The overall conversation was about being post race after the election, and what this means to the hip hop generation. Serch and Lisa battled a little over the content played on radio, and then we discussed a wide range of issues. So we had a great 2 hour conversation. Hopefully we'll be able to bring them back for other conversations. Shout out to Patrick Oliver who was our moderator, and to Ryan Davis and Stacy McAdoo who were the local panelists.
