How do we assess the care for the poor among the Christian community? In what ways are church members bound by political ideologies that make it difficult for them to care or make a difference in the lives of the poor and the least? What can Hip Hop offer us as an aid to addressing poverty? These are among several questions we will consider in this session. Christianity has long been typified by a concern for the “least of these,” at least in theory. But what does it mean that so many faithful Christians remain supportive of Donald Trump and policies that fail to create opportunities for those struggling to “make a way out of no way?” We will consider this issue together and conceive of bold strategies for eradicating poverty guided by voices from Hip Hop.
