#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.
#HipHopEd would like to send our prayers and positive energies to anyone in our community directly and or indirectly impacted by the events on and or as a result of 9/11/01
9/11 was an unforgettable and tragic unfolding of history that happened right before our eyes! I was a freshman at Morehouse on the fateful morning and the responses on campus were any thing but textbook #HipHopEd
We wanted to have tonight's chat because the students who are currently in K-12 were born in 2001-2013 #HipHopEd how is something that is an event to many get presented as history to a generation?
This is why any discussion of 9/11 has to be done through a critical #HipHopEd lens. This is so misleading. It’s an oversimplification that constructs a false dichotomy, reproducing the deeply entrenched, romanticized idea that anti-Blackness was less virulent in 2001. #HipHopEd
For students nowadays they have been living in the effects of 9/11 for their entire lives. So it's interesting to see how they interact with it. They see it more as a historical event, so I think we should teach like we teach WW1 or the Civil War. #HipHopEd
On the morning of 9/11 my wife called me and told me turn on the TV and I watched a plan go into the second tower and eventually watched the towers fall #HipHopEd

The event was surreal in all too many ways...and rocked our nation's notion of invulnerability and this is important for our students to realize that #History is unfolding daily and it's live #2018 can be a #2001 or #1968 or #1965 #1963 #2008 #itsLIT#HipHopEd
My daughter was 10 on 9/11 and was so scared for family and friends that she had back in NYC. My son was 2 and has grown up post 9/11 w/o attaching it to the event #HipHopEd
I remember I was just starting my 2nd year of college when 9/11 happened. Walked into my Logic class & the professor told us what happened & cancelled class. Still remember that day & how it unfolded very vividly #HipHopEd
Our music held currency that we cashed in on in order to make math class more interesting and we have begun to channel the science behind hip-hop into the actual sciences we teach in schools. #HipHopEd
I had just moved to Pittsburgh in May 2001. On 9/11 was driving my husband to the doctor way out in the suburbs; radio was off, got a call from my sister telling us what was going on. Initial reports of plane crashing was "in Pittsburgh". #HipHopEd
This is an incredible share. I had a similar lesson with my students today vis a vis the many faces of xenophobia and racism, pre and post 9/11. #HipHopEd

Used to work in the World Trade. Took the 1 train down to Rector street everyday as a teenager. Bought my first pair of wallabies few blocks from Church and Liberty #HipHopEd
Ironically, I witnessed 9-11 take place in my 9th Grade History class. We didn’t understand then how our world would change, all while staying the same. As @Nas said there’s nothin new under the sun, it’s not what you but how it’s done. #HipHopEd
I wasn't in public school at the time. I was at private school and my teacher did not turn it on the TV in the room I don't think. I would have to ask her. #HipHopEd
In the past five years or so we’ve witnessed hip-hop transform from “our” culture to one that maintains universal appeal through transcending into all areas of our lives. #HipHopEd
I know it is only a moment compared to our history but to think about how I feel being around police now as opposed to right after 9/11 truly hurts my heart #HipHopEd
So true -- nothin new! I was in 9th grade when the Challenger exploded -- at home with the flu (but watching TV); classmates were watching it on the big rolling TV cart. #HipHopEd
After I made sure my family was straight on 9/11, I drove into DC to go to work because I knew some of my teens would come to my program before going home #HipHopEd
#911 / 2018 - 412 showing up for @MACMiller
Family, Friends and Fans say a heart felt goodbye to Pittsburgh's own Mac Miller. It's a wonderful celebration of his young life.

9/11 - as tragic as it was - in many ways fixed a damaging notion in our national psyche of what was “patriotic,” and what was “not.” Our students must know that patriotism takes on many different forms, such as those that call for change in difficult times. #HipHopEd

I was hip-hop-illiterate in 2001, so am having to do a lot of research to catch up. This #HipHopEd chat is way more educational than any article I can read, thankfully I have people like @amilcook who are willing to tell me when I need to keep looking <3
The narrative about 9/11 students are getting is really limited. If we don't address 9/11 in all its complexity, stereotypes & misinformation will continue. It’s up to us as educators to provide the tools for inquiry for answers we don’t have so to eliminate our biases #hiphoped
#LOL i'm sure he did though #Fab def gets honorable mention the #Love came pouring out from HipHop forreal the Question for #some was does #UncleSam ever love us back #UncleSAME#HipHopEd
Sports provided so much healing in the weeks and months following 9/11 whereas no sports is a lightning rod for revealing what is inherently wrong with our societal values #HipHopEd

For a fracture in time, humanity reigned in the face of tragedy... and then, just as quickly, we found a new enemy and continued the insanity #HipHopEd
As @tdj6899 alluded to, there was a moment following 9/11 where artificial labels were forgotten, and we collectively remembered our shared humanity. Is there anything besides tragedy that allows us as a people to remember this? #HipHopEd
Facts!! I don’t think we have enough of outing the US’s problems regarding foreign affairs in the classroom. We have to lay out all the facts in history and give the students the chance to make sense of it. #HipHopEd
I got these items @GoodwillIntl in Mount Pleasant SC. I had to evacuate #HuricaneFlorence but, I planned 2 show my students this @LIFE Book of images describing the events in order. Unopened 2002 Calendar made in 2001 has the Twin Towers in the photo of Manhattan #HipHopEd
Maybe some artificial labels were forgotten, but anyone remotely resembling a "middle easterner" had a pretty huge artificial (socially constructed) label slapped on them. Racism did not die on 9/11. #HipHopEd
I got power, poison, pain and joy inside my DNA
I got hustle though, ambition, flow, inside my DNA @kendricklamar
Of the empty & useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined
The question O me! so sad, recurring-What good amid these, O me, O life? ~Whitman #HipHopEd

And about treating mental illness. And about how the notion of masculinity comfortably includes kindness. So many comments about #MacMiller reflect how genuinely kind -- "sweet" -- he was, to everyone. #HipHopEd
Drug abuse is part of the hidden cultural curriculum of the neighborhood that kills the neighborhood. we must from the occult visivilizar the solutions, for a better world. #hiphoped#hiphopedchile@chrisemdin

As people mourn the passing of @MacMiller we hope that this tragedy will challenge us to look at drug use in our communities and culture differently. #HipHopEd
Not at all. Many people were collectively slapped with damaging xenophobic labels that sadly direct much of our foreign policy today. I hope I did not communicate that xenophobia died on 9/11, as that was not my intent. #HipHopEd
9/11 also ushered in a new level of fear, a perpetual state of alarm, one that reminded us of the false container, false barrier we call "nation" -- something as porous as anything we imagined #hiphoped
At age 19, he stopped some folks in his video crew from shooing away the local kids, including mine, while filming Party on Fifth Avenue video. "Leave them alone, these are my people." That's enormous humility for someone fame found so young. #HipHopEd
That's what I was gonna ask about. with all the FOIA docs and documentaries re: 9/11 that came out over the last 17 years, does the media's original version of the story still stand? #hiphoped
Unless you were or looked Middle Eastern and/or Muslim. 9/11 reinforced in-group/out-group dynamics, and not everyone was included in that "shared humanity". #hiphopedhttps://t.co/WObK5jCHbZ

@43georgebush was in a 2nd grade classroom Elementary School when he was told the second plane hit at 9:05am #HipHopEd I never knew this. The classroom plays an important roll in the story of how the events unfolded on #September11th
we have serious damage with clonazepam poisoning, we take 4 pills in a row called the trip, the one who is awake wins, they are killing our children and the teachers we must know how to contribute! we must contribute! #hiphopedchile#hiphoped
We have to teach history with context. To talk about 9/11 means talking about all the ways the US has tried to interfere and destabilize other countries, sometimes violently and against international agreements. #hiphopedhttps://t.co/Jr5TRb7HtF

I have found this to be true in the Urban Ed community (which perhaps encompasses or has significant overlap with #HipHopEd). For the first time in my life, I'm in a place where humility -- not ego -- rules. In @PittCUE everyone is learning and lifting. As it should be! #HipHopEd

I remember after 9-11 hearing the “What’s Going On” Remix. A year or two later I heard @ImmortalTech say “Marvin Gaye, wtf is going on/ These rap niggas made propaganda out of your song.” My critical thinking skills skyrocketed. #HipHopEd
“We had the right idea in the beginning
And and we just need to maintain our focus and elevate
We what we do we update our formulas
We have certain formulas but we update em” - Dj Premier & Guru had improvement science down before it was a thing #HipHopEd#YouKnowMySteez
You’re absolutely right. I believe it was September 15th, 2001 when an innocent Sikh man was murdered in Mesa, Arizona because of the xenophobia you mentioned. And many more crimes of hate followed. #HipHopEd

Yes! So much of this history goes back to the U.S. being complicit with Great Britain and their greediness wrt oil profiteering in Iran, overthrowing their democratic leader in 1953! The U.S. created this monster, yet we don't teach it in the classroom. #HipHopEd
I remember radio stations changing their formats for days after 9/11. The spirit and power of music was something that was respected in such as sacred and fragile space #HipHopEd

9|11 created this newfound patriotism that empowered Americans to further ‘other‘ groups of people, especially Muslims. Even in schools when Ahmed Mohammed was arrested for bringing a clock to school. #HipHopEd
I was also including the hip-hop community outside of education. I go to local shows, support local artists, & always get so much love and support back for the work I do. #HipHopEd

For those committed to Urban Ed I would say that is probably true, unfortunately that does not always translate into the classrooms for teachers who work with urban communities. #HipHopEd

We have one generation that was defined by images from 9/11 with a false narrative of who is the enemy and another generation being killed on the streets being told that they're the enemy #HipHopEd
Because of 9/11 airport security have never been the same. Because of other attacks at concerts and sporting events we have to use clear bags or go through metal detectors and other security measures to make sure no one will hurt us just trying to enjoy something. #HipHopEd
9/11 also ushered in a new level of fear, a perpetual state of alarm, one that reminded us of the false container, false barrier we call "nation" -- something as porous as anything we imagined #hiphoped
If education is supposed to prepare students to succeed in life, think about the “life” that has taken place since 9/11 that has yet to be infused into education #HipHopEd
That incident made me so furious. I remember sharing that in class, and my students being in utter disbelief, seeing that young boy in handcuffs for honest to God, no reason, save utterly irrational fear. #HipHopEd
I hear ya -- I think I'm optimistic. Specifically, University of Pittsburgh's School of Ed has an innovative, powerful Center for Urban Education. They're (we're!) one of the many who are working to get the love and support into urban classrooms. #HipHopEd

To this day, Biggie's "blew up like the World Trade" lyrics still get censored on the radio. Is it respect, or is it a way to rewrite or censor stories? Its a dangerous precedent. #hiphopedhttps://t.co/5lfbww73Pz

If we only use the music,we do intrinsically validate the culture, but also impede its overall impact by subconsciously suggesting that the music, the artistic and creative side of hip-hop, is the only part of the culture of substance.The vehicle of #hiphoped can carry much more.

And alongside those architectures of oppression stands ongoing resistance movements, struggles to work through the wreckage from Fanon's to Herc #HipHopEd
I think about that edit, especially around this time. It's disheartening because Big was actually referencing an event that happened at the World Trade Center before 9/11 #HipHopEd

With the access that we have to information and the ability to create community, we must take control of teaching our children about the events of yesterday, today in preparation for the events of tomorrow #HipHopEd
SendingLove, Light, and healing prayers to all those affected by 9/11. Like every other tragedy & major happening of our time, Hip Hop has been there to help us feel our feelings find ourselves. Here’s to our growth, Love and Unity. #HipHopEd
I worked in Manhattan at The Empire State Building through a HS internship...It was the 2nd day of my internship...I remember it all vividly as if it were yesterday...#HipHopEd
We have the power to walk into our classrooms and other spaces bringing for the humanity that was birthed in our communities on that day. #LetLoveRule#HipHopEd
100% Agree. Build and be community we want to see. First and fore most I think this means doubling down efforts to to bridge #HipHopEd and #IndieWeb. You control the cadence when you drop the code. Own beats when their your bytes #HipHopEd (https://t.co/AqsDePqWBG)

You used to be able to walk right into the Empire State Building before 9/11...There were no metal detectors...Security was minimal...After 9/11 when it reopened they had metal detectors & installed turnstyles you entered by using a card from the company you worked for. #HipHopEd
