SUMMARY:The 1619 Project: Community Conversations: PROGRESS
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, November 14 at 5:00PM Eastern for our 17th installment of The 1619 Project: Community Conversations. \nThere are many grievances regarding the actions taken by the current administration—too many to list individually. Many of you view our bookstore as a safe space to express your concerns and fears. In response\, we have been active listeners and have provided support in various forms. \nTo help galvanize our voices\, we’ve launched Community Conversations\, a monthly gathering to discuss the impact of current events. Using The 1619 Project as our guide\, we will focus on the themes of each chapter to deepen our understanding of what is happening and how we can better equip ourselves during this challenging time. Where possible\, we will have subject matter experts to lead the discussions\, but we will also rely on each other’s insights. \nThis month\, we will focus on two chapters: Traffic and Progress\, with the conversations being led by co-owners\, Karin Smith and Derek Tompkins. Please review the chapters in preparation for the discussion. \nWe hope you will join us\, be open-minded\, and contribute your knowledge for the greater good of our communities.

SUMMARY:Grandmaster Flash: "Birth of a Culture"
DESCRIPTION:EXPERIENCE ONE OF HIP HOP’S ORIGINAL PIONEERS & INNOVATORS with WPKN: GRANDMASTER FLASH \nPresented by Gees Records & Mega Bass Productions in association with Village Intiative Project (VIP) and\, yes\, WPKN 89.5FM Community Radio\, streaming at wpkn.org & apps \nGrandmaster Flash: “Birth of a Culture” Book Signing & Discussion moderated by DJ Terrible Tee\, event hosted by Billy Bush \nSaturday\, November 14th\, 12-3PM\, 1000 Lafayette Blvd\, 6th Floor\, Bridgeport\, CT \nBorn and raised in the South Bronx\, Grandmaster Flash is inarguably one of Hip Hop’s original innovators. \nAs ticket buyer David exclaims\, “This is a great event for such a seminal and historic figure in rap music. Thank you for hosting it.” \nIn the early 1970s\, Grandmaster Flash was the first DJ to use the turntable as a musical instrument by placing his fingers on the vinyl and perfecting beat looping. It’s no surprise that The New York Times calls him Hip Hop’s first virtuoso. \nHis determination to manipulate music led to innovations that changed the trajectory of Hip Hop music and culture: the Quik Mix Theory and the wafer – or what is now commercially known as the slipmat. \nToday\, he’s the voice of an entire generation of 1970s Hip Hop pioneers and reminds us of that decades influence through his tours\, weekly livestreams\, lectures and other projects. Grandmaster Flash is at once a historian\, a storyteller\, and a cultural force. \nGrandmaster Flash’s groundbreaking contributions to hip-hop have earned some of music’s highest honors\, including the Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award (2021)\, Sweden’s prestigious Polar Music Prize (2019)\, induction into the Grammy Hall of Fame (2012)\, and recognition by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (2007). In 2014\, he also performed at the GRAMMY Nominee Special alongside Common\, LL Cool J\, Lupe Fiasco\, and Rick Ross.

Mosley\, for a conversation about his inspiring memoir\, Bishop Street to the Bench: An Improbable Journey. \nJudge Mosley will also be bringing young people from his community. We encourage you to join us and bring a young person in your life to experience this powerful story of perseverance\, purpose\, and possibility. \nGrowing up on Bishop Street in Waterbury\, Connecticut\, Judge Maurice B. Mosley never imagined his journey would lead him to become a Superior Court Judge\, attorney\, educator\, community leader\, and founder of the Granville Academy of Waterbury. \nIn Bishop Street to the Bench: An Improbable Journey\, Judge Mosley reflects on his upbringing in a close-knit Black community\, the values instilled through family and faith\, his transformative experiences at South Carolina State University during the Civil Rights era\, and the challenges and triumphs that shaped his path through law\, politics\, and public service. \nMore than a memoir\, this is a story of resilience\, mentorship\, faith\, and the power of community. Judge Mosley reminds us that success is not simply about how far we go\, but how many doors we open for those coming behind us. \nThis is a conversation our young people need to hear. \nCome be inspired by a remarkable journey and celebrate the importance of investing in the next generation.
