There was also a "Music Appreciation" Panel, where Little Brother engaged in a one-on-one meeting with the members of the Boys and Girls Club, a "Meet and Greet" with the students and panelists, and a "Free Style / Talent Search" where students were able to display their crafts to panelists and attendees.
The purpose of the summit, which was organized by Sherise Malachi, NCCU alumni and the international promotions coordinator for Atlantic Records, was to shed light on the current state of hip hop and discuss the social issues that exist throughout the culture.
In related news, Little Brother, who met while attending NCCU in 1998, recently wrapped up their first North-American tour promoting their latest release, The Minstrel Show.
