The Temple Of Hiphop (created by Hip Hop Pioneer, KRS ONE) is pleased to announce that Hip Hop Appreciation Week (HHAW) 2009 is May 17-24 and the theme for this year is “COOPERATION”! Hip Hop Appreciation Week started in 1998 and is always celebrated during the third week of May. Now celebrated in cities and countries around the world, it is a time for those who love the culture of Hip Hop to come together and help de-criminalize the images of Hip Hop that are portrayed by the mainstream media.
Now is the time, more than ever, for COOPERATION in our communities. The Hip Hop community should work together to organize our people, our knowledge and our resources as we continue to work through the challenges we are facing domestically and globally!
