PS: Here's a description of the Statehood Action Forum at UDC as
announced by Head-Roc...
"All in the DC Metro area are invited to experience this high-energy,
multi-faceted and multi-media assault on institutionalized mechanisms of
division and suppression. Capitol Resistance offers, via hip-hop
performance and history, an outreach method and challenge to People of
Culture to assertively organize so that we may develop a world in our
making. Its "mixtape" feel is designed to recapture that element of
hip-hop – the mixtape as the culture's original mass medium – to affirm
our right to take without sanction the space needed to communicate
dissident thought and to offer space for that thought to become
organized political movement in Washington, DC!"
Statehood Action Forum
