In the 1970s, America was in turmoil.
The economy was in a freefall. The nation was grappling with the Vietnam war. Marginalized Americans were still protesting in the streets for change. Anguish was felt throughout the country, but most profoundly in the nationâs inner cities. And this collective pain incubated an art form in the heart of the Bronx, New York, that would ultimately have a profound effect and influence upon the entire world. The birth of Hip Hop is a âMade in New Yorkâ story.
The story is delivered from the Bronxâs core creativity. Itâs an epic tale, rich in history and cultural heritage that is rightfully told in the place that first gave it life â Welcome to the Universal Hip Hop Museum.
