In February 1991 a hip-hop conference was held at Howard University. This conference was the first national Hip-Hop conference to be held at a college or university. This event became an annual conference that ran until 1996. It would ultimately launch six additional national hip-hop conferences. The world hasn't been the same since.
In February 2021, The Cultural Initiative (CI) + PowerMove celebrated 30 years of hip-hop at Howard University.
