The Washingtop Post has an interesting 3-chapter video called Hip-Hop Dreams that reports: “Organizers at an Orlando voter registration drive hope hip-hop will become a political voice for young blacks.

While the youth vote has been declining since a high-water mark in the early 1970’s, turnout of black youth between the ages of 18 and 29 has remained the same or better than that of other youth voting groups.

African-American are actually more electorally engaged than their Latino or Asian-American counterparts, and just as engaged as their white counterparts.

Can the hip-hop generation make a statement on November 2nd?
