Looking At Lamar

Sequoia Maner grew up just miles from Compton, and she first heard rapper Kendrick Lamar’s mix tapes on local L.A. radio. Now she uses his art in class to probe race and radicalism. We hear her story and explore Lamar's work.

Maner will be the keynote speaker tonight at KU's Reflections on Kendrick Lamar.
