Hip-hop history celebrated

Three students dance to hip-hop

Planet Rock. U Can’t Touch This. Chicken Noodle Soup. Remember?

On Thursday, students at Roots Academy at West Hill took their classmates, family members and well-wishers on a journey through 40 years of hip-hop.

The schoolwide event was a celebration of Black History Month, and students from most grades participated in dancing, singing, reading poetry and more.
