Lennox Yearwood - Hip Hop Caucus - Hip Hop Rev

Hip Hop Rev

Rev Yearwood was featured in a documentary entitled “Hip Hop Rev” produced by Discovery Communications. Hip Hop Rev’, a special one hour documentary for Discovery Network’s Planet Green channel, follows a year in the life of Rev. Lennox Yearwood Jr., a civil rights and environmental activist, and a man of the people.

During the course of filming, cameras followed Rev Yearwood from his roots in Louisiana, to the birthplace of the Hip Hop Caucus in hurricane hit New Orleans, to community organizing in South East Washington, DC, to a national Clean Energy Bus Tour with former Vice President Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection, which visited nine cities across America in seven days.

With Rev Yearwood’s 'Can't Stop Won't Stop' mentality viewers see the high regard in which movement leaders and politicians hold Rev Yearwood alike. He succeeds in bringing twenty-five African American mayors to Capitol Hill for a Green the City summit, as well as enlists the help of various celebrities to highlight the environmental and social injustices that pervade America's poorest urban communities. The documentary featured musician Wyclef Jean, actress Gloria Rueben and activist Van Jones.

“Hip Hop Rev” premiered on Discovery Communications Planet Green Channel April 23, 2011.
