Hip Hop Forever
This year marks the 50th birth year of Hip-Hop culture. I swear it feels like Hip Hop has been around much longer than that, well actually, it has been around a lot longer than most people realize. Hip Hop has helped to shape my life and mold me into the person I am today, so I had to write a tribute to Hip Hop during its 50 birthday, an ode to the music and culture which not only shaped me, but so many others like me.

30 for 30
Sup…My name is Joe Patterson. I am a writer for Vocal.com and last weekend on February 5th I made it to my 30th birthday.

I made it to the big 3-0 and I wanted to write an article retracing the different stages of my life and what I have learned in my three decades in this world.

Black History Month: The Greensboro Sit-In
In the aftermath of the brutal murder of Emmett Till many calls to action for Civil Rights were taking shape. One of the earliest started in my hometown of Greensboro, North Carolina. This event that would take shape would become known as the Greensboro Sit-In and its formation would take shape in a way that not only changed the city, but the country as a whole forever.
