Presented by Chicago Humanities and Thalia Hall. Chicago Humanities is pleased to partner with Chicago’s Seminary Co-op Bookstores, the country’s first not-for-profit bookstore. All tickets include a copy of "Hip-Hop Is History," which you pick up at the event by showing the book voucher in your receipt. Renowned artist Questlove is the co-founder of one of hip-hop’s defining groups, the Roots. He is a six-time GRAMMY Award–winning musician, an Academy Award–winning filmmaker, a New York Times bestselling author, a producer and a culinary entrepreneur. Hip-hop history is his own personal history—he not only has an encyclopedic fluency and passion for the genre, but he has lived some of the inside stories that no one else knows.  Sharing stories and anecdotes from his new landmark book, Hip-Hop Is History, Questlove, in conversation with artist Open Mike Eagle, skillfully traces the creative and cultural forces that made and shaped hip-hop, highlighting both the forgotten but influential gems and the undeniable chart-topping hits.
