Whereas, Hip hop culture has become a key to uplifting the spirit of many. Hip hop has greatly influenced the entertainment world with its creative contributions in music, dance, art, poetry, fashion, education, spirituality, and life; and

Whereas, We encourage Michigan communities to acknowledge and appreciate the work and impact of hip hop artists on our culture; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare May 20, 2021, as Hip Hop Appreciation Day in the state of Michigan. We support hip hop community members and we thank hip hop artists for their cultural and artistic contributions to our society.
