RZA’s Hip Hop Chess Federation Challenge Obama Admin To Duel

Posted by Juan

Chess Duel that is…

The Hip Hop Chess Federation and its students from O’Connell High and The Ryan Academy have challenged the Obama Administration to a friendly game of chess. The HHCF was founded by award wining Lecturer and Author, Adisa Banjoko, the HHCF is dedicated to providing an inclusive setting for individuals to interact, play and develop life strategy skills with people they perceive as mentors. Through music, chess, and Martial arts, they teach kids unity, strategy and non-violence.

The RZA is the reigning Hip-Hop Chess Federation champion and advocate for the organization. Even with his support however, they’re probably not optimistic that Obama will accept but hopeful to drum up some publicity in the process…and I’m going to give it to them. Great job Adisa.
