La cultura del Hip-Hop acaba de conseguir en EEUU tener un día oficial para su celebración. El Senado de los Estados Unidos aprobó el pasado 29 de julio un proyecto de ley donde reconoce el 11 de agosto como el «Día de celebración del Hip Hop». Además la resolución 331 reconoce el mes de agosto como el «Mes de reconocimiento del Hip Hop» y establece el mes de noviembre como mes de la historia de Hip Hop.
El 11 de agosto se convierte oficialmente en «Día de celebración de Hip Hop»
Esta resolución es histórica, el proyecto es el siguiente: “Whereas, on Aug. 11, 1973, at a Back To School Jam organized by his sister Cindy Campbell and held at the recreation room of 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx, New York, Clive DJ Kool Herc Campbell introduced his innovative style of disk jockeying and, together with the master of ceremonies engaging the crowd with rap on the microphone while partygoers known as B-boys and B-girls danced, introduced a new style. Later known as Hip Hop, which combined the elements of a disk jockey (commonly known as a DJ), a master of ceremonies (commonly known as an MC), music, art, fashion, and dance.”
By unanimous consent, the Senate passed S.Res.331 (A resolution designating August 11, 2021, as ‘‘Hip Hop Celebration Day’’, designating August 2021 as ‘‘Hip Hop Recognition Month’’, and designating November 2021 as ‘‘Hip Hop History Month’’)
