We’ve been celebrating 50 years of hip-hop all summer, from its birth in the South Bronx to its influence around the globe. We kicked off our series with H. Samy Alim, professor of anthropology and director of the Hip-Hop Initiative at UCLA. Alim joins us once again as we conclude our series of stories and conversations about global hip-hop.
Without federal support, local stations, especially in rural and underserved areas, face deep cuts or even closure. Vital public service alerts, news, storytelling, and programming like The World will be impacted. The World has weathered many storms, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to being your trusted source for human-centered international news, shared with integrity and care. We believe public media is about truth and access for all. As an independent, nonprofit newsroom, we aren’t controlled by billionaire owners or corporations. We are sustained by listeners like you.
Now more than ever, we need your help to support our global reporting work and power the future of The World.
