America ReFramed

In Search of Bengali Harlem | An Identity in Hip Hop

Season 12 Episode 5 | 1m 34s

Alaudin Ullah talks about the cultural revolution known as hip hop in Harlem. Ullah felt like an outsider when he was growing up so he connected to the music and the people. But this also meant a rejection of his Bangladeshi culture which his parents did not understand as they were proud of who they were and where they came from.
