#HipHopEd Chat is a weekly cyber cypher (chat) where stakeholders within Hip-Hop and Education come together to discuss issues that impact the youth and adults within our local, national and global communities. #HipHopEd Chat is a virtual form of professional development for Educators, workshop for Parents and other Adults and a brainstorming session of Hip-Hop practitioners. Our #HipHopEd chats are every Tuesday from 9-10 EST. on Twitter.
Welcome 2 #HipHopEd tonight we want to brainstorm how Hip-Hop culture and pedagogy can be used as catalysts for activities during #BlackLivesMatterAtSchool week of action

We have to tell young people, explicitly and implicitly, that black lives matter. We need to say it over and over again. For every moment in their lives they've been told they don't matter, we need to tell them they do. #hiphoped
Depending on the age of your students you will have to take them back to 2013 when #BlackLivesMatter started in response to Zimmerman verdict #hiphoped
#HipHopEd = building educational experiences that honor the brilliance of young people, so a great place to start is asking students what #BlackLivesMatterAtSchool means to them, whether they feel it + if not, what we all could do to make it true
#HipHopEd
#BlackLivesMatterAtSchool means we are students with the skills to reshape their current school structure, to build classrooms, hallways, and counseling offices where they feel valued #hiphoped
An important action is showing how incredibly talented and intelligent so many hip-hop artists are/were. When my students see their culture held up and respected like we do with the white canon, it empowers them. #HipHopEd
#BlackLivesMatterAtSchoolWeek is a great opportunity to compare and contrast strategies used today and yesterday by activists and the incidents that led them to act #HipHopEd
I completely agree. I got a lot of flack this semester just for having âblack girl magicâ on my door and having my students perform a poem with the word black in the title. Itâs hard to be a black, conscious educator fighting for racial justice today. #HipHopEd
Hip hop in the classroom can open space 4 students 2 explore what #BlackLivesMatterAtSchool means to/for them & opportunities 2 create & curate their response(s). #HipHopEd
*Taps mic*
Teaching Black students the extensive trauma of their history in America while giving them no practices or resources for self care while learning is a failed pedagogy
#BHM#BlackHistoryMonth
We cannot engage students in discussions around feeling valued without being prepared to embrace difficult emotional experiences. This requires collaborative efforts between school counselors and teachers #hiphoped
explicitly naming + talking about anti-Black racism is essential to making #BlackLivesMatterAtSchool (this may sound obvious, but i often see educators contort themselves to avoid it)
#HipHopEd
Black Panther is going to be an excellent opportunity to discuss with young people how black lives matter. #HipHopEd "Is Marvelâs âBlack Pantherâ the endgame of the revolution that blaxploitation started?" @michttps://t.co/cvoB6uf8Fy
All this truth here. Seems like thereâs no space to be black and proud in schools for Ts and Ss. âYour culture and heritage will continue to be devalued, just sit, shut up and take itâ. #HipHopEd

Also, there have been a lot of reports lately about the absence of slavery from our school curriculum. If you want to see justice you have to learn the root of the oppression. #HipHopEd
#BlackLivesMatterAtSchoolWeek is just as much for educators and administrators as it is for students. If we examine the conditions of our schools in certain areas we may see where we participate in one of the systems that oppress #HipHopEd
So many of my preservice teachers wanna play âneutralâ for various fears dressed up as âobjectivityâ. #BlackLivesMatteratSchool isnât neutral. Nor is the classroom. #hiphoped
I love this. Because as much work as we do inside the classroom, it wonât work if your kids feel like theyâre in cages outside our rooms. #HipHopEd

I Never want to see #BlackLivesMatter movement dwindle and deteriorate from our lives. Ss sometimes feel like it was âbut for a momentâ and now itâs over. #BlackLivesMatteratSchool amplifies itâs importance and brings new voices in the mix. M #HipHopEd

Students can study the purposeful commercial shift within Hip-Hop that took us from music rooted in a historical and present day narrative to the proliferation of what they called "Gangsta" #BlackLivesMatterAtSchool#hiphoped
#BlackLivesMatterAtSchoolWeek is a great time to highlight the culture young people are creating and evolving. That way it's not stolen and sold back to them as something new #hiphoped
Agreed Jon and a value add is that Black Panther ignites new conversation on/about blacks across the diaspora. Agency to freely speak about culture heritage Africa enslavement struggle oppression and triumph. #HipHopEd

#BlackLivesMatterAtSchool for our class means
1. Using @kendricklamar and Lauryn Hill to discuss black identity
2. Connecting this identity to activism and
3. Removing my voice as much as possible and letting the students and the culture speak. #HipHopEd
There needs to be a song or documentary called "21" or "22" cause when you're this age and you have you college degree and are in the beginning stage of your career it's pretty sweet. You can also still be a hip-hopper. Students need to know this. #HipHopEd
To attack someone for having to say that their lives matter makes you an accomplice to the environment and ecosystem that is telling and showing them that they donât matter. Feelings should be respected and not challenged to be proven #HipHopEd#BlackLivesMatterAtSchool

William Floyd "Little WIllie" Adams was a prominent Black Baltimore businessman who financially supported several locally owned Black businesses. He was known for his numbers operation and helping to keep organized crime out of Baltimore.

It takes a lot of courage to stand up and proclaim #BlackLivesMatterAtSchool...not because it isnât true but because school was built to oppress rather than uplift, and you uplifting kids, especially black kids, is bound to be met with criticism. #HipHopEd
Iâm grateful to educators who teach kids who look like me, poems written by people who look like us. Writers who have passed. Writers who are still breathing. Writers who were once kids who also wondered if poetry had a space for our stories & our language & our voices.
Yes! The question that teachers need to consider, especially this month, is how do we teach children about the contributions of Black Americans, rather than portraying them as victims? #HipHopEd

@CortneyHaislip, There already is a division, created by centuries of white supremacy. "All lives matter" disregards seemingly endless examples of black lives NOT mattering, historically and presently. Our privilege can't isolate us; people are dying. #HipHopEd

We can use #BlackLivesMatterAtSchoolWeek as a chance to examine how school has been regarded in many Hip-Hop songs and how the school to prison pipeline is real. Show @ava 13th documentary #HipHopEd
This has been a hard month (seems like ppl always wanna come for us in Feb.) but what has been getting me through is the look, pride, and joy I see in my kids this month. Theyâve shown me that if you put them first, itâs worth it because they are worth it. #HipHopEd
We must be truthful and explore the radical responses that #BlackLivesMatter has received over the years from various communities within our nation. The enemies weren't always white and wearing badges #hiphoped
Connecting Tricia Rose's work on the representation of black women in hip-hop with the lives of young women and the actions of young men can be powerful.
Last year students petitioned the gendered school dress code because of Lauryn's example. #HipHopEd
#BlackLivesMatterAtSchool requires flexibility within the curriculum and improvisation from educators, to allow the students to play a role in what they learn - and through which lens #HipHopEd
When youâre hated on for being right donât be dismayed, become more determined. Understand that if no one was listening to your voice there would be no resistance in their response. #HipHopEd#BlackLivesMatterAtSchool
This is honestly the best #PLN on twitter. So glad I got to chat with the fam! âđ˝âđ˝âđ˝âđ˝âđ˝âđ˝âđ˝âđ˝âđ˝âđ˝ #HipHopEd

Gonna toss this out here at the end of our #hiphoped hour: the Black Student Union where I teach invited me to read one of my poems at a #BHM assembly tomorrow. I wrote one for the occasion, and it's good, but I'm scared as hell, so any good vibes from y'all are appreciated! <3
