Honor the founder of Hip Hop: DJ Kool Herc

Kool Herc founded the international phenomenon called hip hop. It was created to foster peace, respect, and unity in his neighborhood. The culture was to serve as an alternative to gang life that plagued his community, the South Bronx. Hip hop has been misused by corporate greed to sell products, promote violence, and self-worthlessness. We are here to take back the name hip hop, reinstate its original purpose, and honor its founder, Kool Herc.
