More than likely you didn't either.
For the past 34 years Afrika Bambaataa and the Universal Zulu Nation (if you don't know who they are you need to Google) have been celebrating HHHM and now there is a global push to have HIP HOP HISTORY MONTH be recognized and celebrated by all. This is all well to the good.
The petition just started and needs your signature: www.petitiononline.com/push4hhm/petition.html
