Avoice of social consciousness echoes from the music of Paris, a San Francisco-based performer. "The message I'm putting forth is good for everybody but more applicable to Black people," he said Friday to about 100 people in Alderson Auditorium.
Paris, a writer, arranger and producer who plays a blend of funk, hip-hop, jazz and rock, was the headlining act of Saturday's Day on the Hill.
Friday's forum was sponsored by Black Men of Today and Student Union Activities.
Paris and Mad Mike, a band member, wanted to dispel an misconceptions about their music.
Paris said his music reflected African-American pride, self-esteen and self-knowledge.
"Hip-hop reaches everybody, and that's why we take the stance we take." he said.
hears said he was using his music to break down people's misconceptions and stereotypes about each other.
"We are not the way stereotypes portray us to be," he said. Mad Mike also from San Francisco, agreed.
*On some level whites, Blacks, Latin Americans and Native Americans need to come together and understand each other*

and everyone could learn from Paris, music.
said everyone could learn from his music.
He said the music preached self-love and education.
"He is also saying that you don't have to apologize for being African," Mic. T. said.
Jerome Mazeck, Fort Smith, Ark., junior, said Paris' music also was important for white people to listen to.
"It's about freedom," he said. "It means taking action."
Mazzyck said Paris was trying to change people's attitudes to make long lasting change.
