Making a reading room at a hip hop concert in Bronx

On a summer evening in the Bronx, the Uni Project made a place for books and learning at a community hip hop concert and dance party.

The concert honored Bronx living legend/hip hop founding father, DJ Kool Herc, and later in the evening Kool Herc himself took over the turntables and created a Jamaican Jam dance party. The event was sponsored by the been on this block, back in 2013.

Our participation was made possible in part by support from Penguin Random House.
