Hip-Hop U.S. History

From Native American civilizations to the sweeping social reforms of Civil Rights, Hip-Hop U.S. History is the new way to learn. NYC's most talented underground rappers lend their vocal skills to characters like Harriet Tubman, Nat Turner, John C. Calhoun (on "Ghosts of the Civil War"), J. P. Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, and John D. Rockefeller (on "Big Ballin' (in the Gilded Age)). With songs like "Let Freedom Ring," featuring Martin Luther King Jr.'s historic speech, "I have a dream," Flocabulary brings history to life. Students, young and old, will listen, engage, and see the past in a whole new light. "Hip-Hop U.S. History reveals what textbooks often conceal about the struggle for freedom here. Don't miss it!" -- Cornel West, Princeton University "Hip-Hop U.S. History is a wonderful way of presenting history, both in its point of view and in its unique use of hip-hop to present serious ideas to young people. I see it as an extraordinary teaching tool for the next generation, on whom we count to make a better world." -- Howard Zinn, best-selling author of A People's History of the United States Flocabulary produces innovative educational tools for today's students. Flocabulary products and artists have been featured on MTV, CNN, and in the New York Times. Flocabulary materials are being used in thousands of schools nationwide.
