Overview

Chuck D and Arsenio Hall discuss the pop culture revolution of 1989 that raised our collective social consciousness. Spike Lee's powerful film Do the Right Thing made a lasting impact, Public Enemy's provocative lyrics transformed Hip Hop and Arsenio Hall created a platform for a generation of stars previously ignored by late night TV. The cultural and political events of the year helped awaken mainstream audiences to the black experience.
