For too long, the pathways into architecture and urban planning has felt closed off, distant, or disconnected from the lived experiences of our Hip Hop Culture or our communities.

After much deliberation and review, the artists have been selected for our 2026 Juneteenth Arts & Culture Zone Mural Contest: Justin Heard , Ahmari Benton, LaQuailla Bryant, Leah Cashaw, Zaneta Cainion , Mario Hamilton 🫟 We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming response from Milwaukee’s Artists!! We will have to go even BIGGER in the future! Wow! The artistic talent and vision shared through this year’s applications were inspiring & powerful and we are working on ways

On April 30th, 2026 the energy at HGA was the ignition of a future movement. We gathered our "Historical Alliance" of partners, champions, and youth leads for the Future TRUE Skool Campus Stakeholder Kickoff, and the vibration in the room confirmed what we’ve known for almost 10 years building this vision. We'll share more footage from this epic event soon.......

Recently we spent the whole day at the MATC Milwaukee Tech Lab getting busy with Autodesk Revit —real-world software the pros use. We spent time designing floor plans and structures, bringing our own imaginations to life with full storylines for every building idea!

This year's showcase wasn't regular, it was a powerful declaration, cementing TRUE Skool's status as a national standard in cultural preservation and artistic innovation AND we streamed it LIVE you can watch the entire show on TRUE SKOOL TV

TRUE Skool has been named a 2025 Creative Impact Awardee by United States Artists! This is massive national recognition for our students, our TRUE Skool Team, and our Community!

The Milwaukee Hip Hop Archive Project exemplifies the power of community led research & archiving !
