Chat with Joan Morgan

Twelve years ago, prolific author Joan Morgan released her book When Chickenheads Come Home to Roost: A Hip Hop Feminist Breaks It Down and its relevance has prevailed to this day. In this book, Morgan successfully discusses the plight of African American women while eloquently relating the plight and feminism to the culture of Hip Hop.

A book like this needs and must be spoken about today and Beyond the Lyrics is providing this dialogue. Beyond the Lyrics is a growing site “where Hip Hop and education collide” and strives on its ultimate goal of always providing the political and social consciousness of the great culture; a provision that will reach, teach and educate. Twitter has been an amazing social media platform for great chats to learn and educate, so Beyond the Lyrics will be hosting a chat via twitter, with Joan Morgan as the co-host.

The chat will be held via twitter on Wednesday, November 9, 2011 at 9pm and all you have to do to join is use your twitter handle along with the hashtag, #BTLchat. If you’ve read this book and have been anticipating dialogue with the author, this is most definitely a chat you don’t want to miss.
