Our plan on our project

For the up coming weeks, our poetry class will be using blogger and goggle docs to work on our project on answering the question: How are the Black Arts Movement and Hip-Hop connected to one another. My group, VanKyDan will be showing providing numerous artists that affected the black arts movement. For our plan, we have this right now. This will be constantly changing, so we will be updating our outline each year.
