The intention of this day is to inspire and lead others to positivity and clarity with the topic of discussion being: “Hip Hop Stereotypes; is it time for a makeover?” and debating the influence Hip Hop has on the minds of young people.

Critics say the emphasis on violence; drugs and criminal lifestyles promote negative stereotypes, especially of young men of color. What do you think?
