Finally, the Visiting Artist Series on Music, Race, & Social Justice is having an event about Black Women In/and/of Hip Hop.

On a sunny day in the town of Bloomington, a devastating occurrence happens. No, it’s not famine or floods or loss of basic rights. The internet has gone down! And it will continue to be down! For a week! A whole week! Pandemonium! In a world that is so dependent on the internet for shopping, mailing and posting pictures of cute babies, how will society function? Not well, as it turns out. “The Day the Internet Died” hilariously explores how inept we are at dating, research and basic human interactions when we don’t have a screen to look at.
