African Americans Struggle for Equality: Hip Hop as a form of Resistance

Abstract

Africans in the land of freedom of Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness struggled ages to be considered as Americans. Therefore, they were forever cruelly discriminated and segregated for one reason that is their "Dark color of skin». Thus, the white supremacy over the black African Americans caused the latter ones to make political and cultural movements including Civil Rights Movements, Black Panther Party and the Harlem Renaissance to gain the equal rights of freedom as the whites. Music as well was a means by which the African Americans protested against the inequality and injustice in white America, precisely Hip Hop music.
