Hip Hop and the 1992 LA Uprising

Eric Harvey, assistant professor in the School of Communications at Grand Valley State University and freelance writer and reporter on music, media and commerce, will discuss his new book, Who Got the Camera? A History of Rap and Reality. Harvey will delve into the history of hip-hop, the 1992 Los Angeles uprising and how rappers acted as a counterforce to television news coverage of the event.
