Around 10 RBHS classes attended a display from the Black History 101 Mobile Museum in the Performing Arts Center Lobby throughout the school day March 3. The exhibit, entitled “The Five Elements of Hip Hop,” included 150 artifacts from time periods ranging from the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade to modern rap and hip hop. CEO and curator Dr. Khalid el-Hakim, who started as an educator in Detroit and has personally acquired thousands of items that make up the collection founded the museum. 

Tomorrow, Oct. 28, the African-American Literature class will visit the Black History 101 Mobile Museum at Hickman High School.
