With the majority of the American population being a multitude of cultures and identities, he has found that the one thing that makes people America is their relative social privilege. But don’t let that idea get you down, his ultimate message is inspiring and empowering- we have the opportunity to imagine and dream a better world, so why not use our power and influence to make it happen.

This show features Carmen Gallegos’ “Quien Soy,” and Audio Cascades answering the questions: what it means to be American and what does American sound like? from students at Monte Del Sol Charter School. As well, the show showcases two panel discussions, one with the Santa Fe Indian School Spoken Word Team and another with members of our Production Team about White privilege, Hip Hop and Music.
