  • The Life & Rhymes of Jay-Z, an Historical Biography
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE LIFE & RHYMES OF JAY-Z, AN HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY: 1969-2004 Omékongo Dibinga, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Barbara Finkelstein, Professor Emerita, University of Maryland College of Education. Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the life and ideas of Jay-Z. It is an effort to illuminate the ways in which he managed the vicissitudes of life as they were inscribed in the political, economic cultural, social contexts and message systems of the worlds which he inhabited: the social ideas of class struggle, the fact of black youth disempowerment, educational disenfranchisement, entrepreneurial possibility, and the struggle of families to buffer their children from the horrors of life on the streets. Jay-Z was born into a society in flux in 1969. By the time Jay-Z reached his 20s, he saw the art form he came to love at the age of 9—hip hop— become a vehicle for upward mobility and the acquisition of great wealth through the sale of multiplatinum albums, massive record deal signings, and the omnipresence of hip-hop culture on radio and television. In short, Jay-Z lived at a time where, if he could survive his turbulent environment, he could take advantage of new terrains of possibility. This dissertation seeks to shed light on the life and development of Jay-Z during a time of great challenge and change in America and beyond. THE LIFE & RHYMES OF JAY-Z, AN HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY: 1969-2004 An historical biography: 1969-2004 by Omékongo Dibinga Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 Advisory Committee: Professor Barbara Finkelstein, Chair Professor Steve Klees Professor Robert Croninger Professor Derrick Alridge Professor Hoda Mahmoudi © Copyright by Omékongo Dibinga 2015 Acknowledgments I would first like to thank God for making life possible and bringing me to this point in my life.

Furthermore, Lemonade centers black life while presenting mainstream audiences with poetry and avant-garde imagery that challenge dominant views of black womanhood. Using theorists bell hooks, Stuart Hall, Patricia Hill- Collins and Audre Lorde, among others, I argue that Beyoncé’s work challenges the understanding of artistic production while simultaneously fitting within a long tradition of black feminist cultural production.

  • Sermon Notes
    Series: More Than A Name “Walking in The Light” 1 John 2:7-12 This morning we continue in our study “More Than A Name” where we are being reminded that there is more to being a Christian than simply identifying as a “Christian.” There are many people who live in America today who self-identify as Christians. In fact, 65% of the US Population claims to be Christian. However, if that is true, then why does our land and why do our laws not better reflect Jesus? If we are truly Christians, then why do we still allow abortion, accept the redefining of marriage, pervert God’s plan for sexuality, and justify the sin in our lives and in our country? If we are truly Christians, then what are we doing to help the poor, the orphans, the widows, and those in society who have been forgotten and rejected? Sadly, the same sort of questions could be asked even within the Church today. If we are truly Christians, then why are we not meeting together to worship Jesus on a regular basis? Why do we come for worship only when it is convenient for our schedule and there’s nothing else more important going on? If we are truly Christians, then why are we content on being served instead of serving one another and building up the body of Christ? If we are truly Christians, then how are we reaching out to the sick, the hurting, and the grieving to be the hands and feet of Jesus? If we are truly Christians, then why is there so much self-righteousness, arrogance, and apathy in the Church today? Acts 11:26 tells us that the followers of Jesus in Antioch were meeting regularly to learn and to grow and they were first called “Christians” there.

The town of Eastport, in the state of Maine, lay buried under a deep snow that was newly fallen. The customary bustle in the streets was wanting. One could look long distances down them and see nothing but a dead-white emptiness, with silence to match. Of course I do not mean that you could see the silence--no, you could only hear it. The sidewalks were merely long, deep ditches, with steep snow walls on either side. Here and there you might hear the faint, far scrape of a wooden shovel, and if you were quick enough you might catch a glimpse of a distant black figure stooping and disappearing in one of those ditches, and reappearing the next moment with a motion which you would know meant the heaving out of a shovelful of snow. But you needed to be quick, for that black figure would not linger, but would soon drop that shovel and scud for the house, thrashing itself with its arms to warm them.
