Moses Lake Museum and Arts Center to host hip-hop lecture

MOSES LAKE – Artist and activist King Khazm will be lecturing on hip-hop music at the Moses Lake Museum and Arts Center Aug. 31 from 6 to 7 p.m., according to a press release from the museum. The Moses Lake Museum and Arts Center is partnering with the Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau to host the lecture, which is titled “Hip-Hop and It Don’t Stop,” and will be on the art, history, philosophy, and ethics of hip-hop. The Speakers Bureau is an organization that provides free public presentations on history, politics, music, philosophy and spiritual traditions to Washington communities. “Hip-hop culture and its founding principles are often misunderstood due to its commodification and exploitation by corporate interests and mainstream media,” stated the release. “Few know its humble roots as a tool to unify, uplift, and amplify voices, particularly for youth of color.”
