'Dr. Marcyliena Morgan wasn't an archivist and she didn't listen to hip-hop. But she listened to her students. Bit by bit, she opened her office and her resources and began to collect the history and material culture of hip-hop. In 2002, The Archive went from her office at UCLA to Harvard University, where she and Professor
Henry Louis Gates founded
The Hiphop Archive & Research Institute at the W.E.B. Dubois Institute at the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard.' --
