The US Senate passed a bill today that:
(1) designates August 11, 2021, as “Hip Hop Celebration Day”;
(2) designates the month of August 2021 as “Hip Hop Recognition Month”;
(3) designates the month of November 2021 as “Hip Hop History Month”;
(4) recognizes the contributions of Hip Hop to art and culture;
(5) encourages Senators to plan appropriate activities that support the objective of the “Back to School Jam” of August 11, 1973; and
(6) encourages local governments in the United States to build partnerships with local Hip Hop entities and other members of the creative arts and music communities.
"from its humble beginnings in New York City, the music, lyricism, dance, fashion, and art of Hip Hop has become a culture, now found in communities across the United States, and has long been a worldwide phenomenon ... the art and culture of Hip Hop is an original American creation ... the Hip Hop genre has been reinvented often over the years since 1973, reflecting the State, city, and region of the music, from G-funk and Hyphy on the West Coast, to Bass and Trap in the South, to Drill in the Midwest, to many other sounds from coast to coast and from abroad, including the New School, which continues that trend"
