This conversation with ACC’s Dr. Mark Cunningham and KUT’s Miles Bloxson isn’t just a killer opportunity to see a hip-hop innovator in the flesh; it’s also a prelude to the Austin African American Book Festival, which celebrates its 20th anniversary later this month. What’s the connection? Founding Director Roz Oliphant Jones explains: Throughout the fest’s history, “we have worked to connect literature with liberation and activism. Chuck D’s work across music, writing, and visual art exists at that intersection in a powerful way. His new book, In the Hour of Chaos: Art and Activism, reflects the kind of critical dialogue we are committed to advancing through the festival.” – Carys Anderson
