Students will be inspired by this performance that focuses on youth involvement in the American Civil Rights Movement as seen through the eyes of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 

The dancers of Hip Hop Fundamentals guide students through the social conditions that gave rise to the Civil Rights Movement. The program explores the heroic work necessary to end segregation and the critical role young people played in winning equal rights for millions of Americans.
