Making History Now: How Video Music Box Elected Our First Black President

Thursday, January 22nd:

Brooklyn Bodega continues to create and host great events such as this one below. As you already know, the inauguration of President Elect Obama is a historical event, but how did this come to play.  If you want to hear a great panel discussion, this is the event for you.

Our panel discussion on Thursday January 22nd at The Brooklyn Historical Society. It is the first in our series entitled “Making History Now.” MHN is about documenting history as it unfolds. Of course we look at history through the lens of Hip-Hop culture.

We are more than excited to be launching this series during inauguration week and to be joined by an all star panel.

Panelists include: Ralph “Uncle Ralph” McDaniels, founder of Video Music Box; Christina Norman, former president of MTV; Jason King, Artistic Director, Clive Davis Department of Recorded Music at NYU; Alvin Blanco, Features Editor, Allhiphop.com; and Selam Mlugeta, Field Organizer for President Obama

Make sure to come join us at The Brooklyn Historical Society, our gracious hosts.
