NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, February 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Hip Hop Museum is proud to highlight two Black History Month initiatives that underscore its commitment to education, literacy, and cultural preservation: A social media series celebrating nearly 40 books about Hip Hop culture, and the ongoing 1 Dollar, 1 Mic, 1 Movement campaign inviting the global Hip Hop community to contribute just one dollar toward funding the museum's educational programming, tech-forward innovation, and community development. Together, these campaigns reflect the museum's core mission to preserve and promote the cultural legacy of Hip Hop for future generations.

The Hip Hop Museum's curated selection, written by artists, journalists, and cultural scholars, spans children's books, graphic novels, memoirs, and academic texts by renowned figures including Tricia Rose, LL Cool J, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson, and Michael Eric Dyson.

In partnership with the museum, Abantu Audio—a Black-owned digital audiobook platform founded by Luc Cadet and Alejandro Gonzales—will feature a separate, expanded Hip Hop books collection collaboratively developed for their app, website and social media. As part of this campaign, Abantu Audio will extend a special offer of 100 one-month free audiobook subscriptions to social media followers of the Hip Hop Museum.
