U.S. Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove of California introduced legislation that would celebrate the 50th anniversary of hip-hop.

On July 26, the Democratic congresswoman, who represents the 37th District, put forth a resolution to recognize Aug. 11, 2023, as the 50th anniversary of the art form.

First-term Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-Calif.) says she’s a child of hip-hop.

Now she’s set to drop a resolution that remixes how we think about the arc of the genre's influence on American culture and politics.

Earlier in July 2023, a group of lawmakers – including California's Rep. Young Kim and Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove – joined Hernandez's loved ones to call for the release of the Southern California-based lawyer.
