The Gospel of Hip Hop by KRS-One
Review & Analysis by Dominique of The Dock Bookshop
The Gospel of Hip Hop: The First Instrument, the first book from the I Am Hip Hop imprint set for launch in Spring 2009, is the philosophical masterwork of KRS-One. Set in the format of the Christian Bible, this 600-plus-page opus is a life-guide manual for members of Hip Hop Kulture that combines classic philosophy with faith and practical knowledge for a fascinating, in-depth exploration of Hip Hop as a life path. Known as "The Teacha," KRS-One developed his unique outlook as a homeless teen in Brooklyn, New York, engaging his philosophy of self-creation to become one of the most respected emcees in Hip Hop history. Respected as Hip Hop's true steward, KRS-One painstakingly details the development of the culture and the ways in which we, as "Hiphoppas," can and should preserve its future.

Ausar Auset Society of Dallas and New Orleans
Invites you to Come and Experience the Rebirth of An
Ancient African Civilization
Free
A Special Screening of the Documentary
Living Legacy'; History of the Ausar Auset Society
Saturday, June 12th
6 to 8pm
The Dock Bookshop
Guest Speaker Traveling from New Orleans, Sister Hrimgalah Maati Khu-m Amen (H.M.K. Amen) Member of Ausar Auset Society' Priesthood for nearly 30 years.
The Ausar Auset Society is a Pan-African religious organization that has been providing African based spiritual training to African descendants in the Diaspora, as well as a social vehicle that allows for the expression of the spiritual values learned, for over 30 years. The organization has grown primarily due to its teachings of holistic health, which include vegetarianism and books on spirituality, such as Metu Neter Vol. 1, 2 & 3 .
Based on the indigenous traditional African cultures dating from the earliest documentable periods, classes are taught revolving around the oldest religion known to mankind - the Ausarian religion of ancient Kamit. The teaching unites the traditions of the great African founders of civilization, allowing us to weave their knowledge into a spiritually empowering way of life which aims at the awakening of the Ausar principle (the Divine Self) within each being. Ausar Auset understands that for a people to grow spiritually, they must encounter the spiritualizing forces, not in the halls of education or between the pages of books, but at every turn of their day to day interaction with life and with each other.
This Event is Free and Open to the Public.
