“Over the decades, Hip-Hop has transcended language, race, age, both geographic and socioeconomic barriers'" said senate majority leader Chuck Schumer. "Many people can attest to the fact that Hip Hop actually changed their lives for the better, gave them purpose and meaning. I know many of them myself, many of whom are New York City and Bronx residents,” he continued.
“So, Hip Hop is great. It’s a uniquely American art form that quickly blossomed into a global movement and we are proud, proud, proud today that this resolution, honoring the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop, has passed.”
