Walking into Xavier's Cintas Center, on the 14th of November, I was amazed of how many people came to this event. Xavier's Black Student Association invited Michael Eric Dyson to come and visit the University. The long winded introduction that was given did not do him justice! The Georgetown University professor, pastor, author, and Princeton scholar blew me away! Dyson spoke a lot about the state of Hip-Hop and how African Americans are perceived in the eyes of other cultures. Many portions of his talk Dyson broke into song with lyrics from Tupac to Kenny Chesney. There are no words that can describe this moment. This will be a night that I will never forget.
