    b. African Americans in elite, predominant white schools: what is the cost to preserving one's own culture, legacy? How does define "it being worth it"?


    c. Pop Rap artists as the new "minstrels" - the birth of rap music was grounded in Black voices speaking their message about Black, urban issues and grew into this party, pop infused, race neutral, life of excess and debauchery - what has that done to Black music and identity?
