Jonathan Brumfield, graduate hood for the College of Ethnic Studies, will speak on behalf of all graduate students at SF State's commencement on May 22. He teaches the history of hip hop and aerosol art at Safe Passages in Oakland, using these topics as a tool to connect students to their heritage and personal identities. “Hip hop saved my life, and I am so grateful to be able to save other young people through hip hop,” he said.

Mumia walked through the halls of my school, but no students know about Mumia.

The school district of Philadelphia should have Mumia in the curriculum. Mumia inspires me to keep fighting for my rights.
