"We've heard a lot nationally about rebuilding the middle class," said Boyd. "That starts with education, and with taking the long view on homegrown talent. That's what the new Monument offers.”
The hip-hop performance will be the culmination of the Mahaiwe education program’s four-day in-school residency taught by hip hop masters Baba Israel, Yako 440, Ken Fury and Grace Galu featuring students from Monument Valley Regional Middle School, Mount Everett Regional School and Herberg Middle School.
