Hip-hop Grandpa, the outlaw historian

spent twenty-two years  researching & teaching my family

The Black historical experience

 

Hip-hop Grandpa is an old school Hustler and ex-Black panther, 75 years of age, who has spent a life time on the streets playing the Game for fun and profit; now turned an armchair Researcher, Writer, and Historian. He is following in the footsteps of his "Hero" Malcolm X. Whereas Malcolm brought “street knowledge” to Black politics; He is bringing “street knowledge” to the study of a Black history paradigm; Ancient West African Spirituality and Intellectuality.

Ben and Bertha Benjamin Institute is dedicated to his mother and father, sister, brothers, his children, grandkids,  great grandkids, and especially to the memory of his grandson Orchester (Rory) Benjamin III, who gave him the name Hip-hop Grandpa, Born February 14, 1986 Died of cancer April 21, 2007.

         One cold afternoon in January of 1987, He was standing on His favorite street corner playing the street game 100 MPH, and that’s when it hit Him like a bolt of lightening. It was the Game that Black people played that turned the Black world right-side up, after slavery had turned it up-side-down. At that moment, His mission in life was revealed to Him. He made a vow, then and there, to become an arm-chair Historian to teach His family the history of the Game, and, an autobiographer to teach them the lessons  He learned from playing the Game.
         After pulling his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren into the idea, they spent the next fourteen years researching and teaching ourselves Black history and African spirituality, and in the process ended up with a three thousand page manuscript.

         Then they spent another eight years transforming the manuscript into a written historical concept in an inter-active, yet entertaining (memoir) format that allows readers to teach themselves history by (provoking them to think), looking at how they used their research material, and coming to their own conclusion about what it all means to them as a living part of the Black experience.
