Have them read the first 4 chapters in Can't Stop Wont Stop. It gives a really good picture of the early development of hip hop from Jamaica to BK.

Also check out "To Catch A Fire" the Bob Marley autobiography. There are whole sections throughout that book that talk about the sound systems, the DJs, and specifically a hurricane in the late 60's that wiped out all the record pressing plants, forcing DJs to use instrumentals from old records and have live emcees do new verses over them.

what school teaches a class about hip-hop to 1st graders???

it was some ele. school in a dirty part of pasadena, i can't remember the name of it for the life of me but it was probably named after a president. keep in mind, these are afterschool programs for kids who go to school literally from like 6am-6pm so their parents can work all day and not pay for rill babysitting. it's crazy, but in areas like that, that's just how it goes.

also up in the bay there are plenny of ele/mid schools that offer hip hop and b-boying classes para los ni??os, graff/drawing etc in afterschool programs!
