At a time when the music industry was veering away from hard-edge punk in favor of more radio-friendly New Wave bands, hardcore actively reaffirmed punk’s fury and rejection of commercialism and the mainstream.

The Haitian Chronicles - A New Volume of Work by Douglas Turner Ward
Boo-Hooray is pleased to announce the release of The Haitian Chronicles, a stunning new volume by Douglas Turner Ward - actor, director, playwright, and founder of the Negro Ensemble Company.
The Haitian Chronicles is a graphic and brutal history of the Haitian Revolution told across 3 plays. It is the latest work by the influential and ground-breaking playwright Douglas Turner Ward and the first new work of his to be published in several decades. Though much of his earlier work has been short one-act satires, The Haitian Chronicles takes place across three long plays: The Rise of Toussaint, The Fall of Toussaint and the one-man drama, Dessalines. Previously unpublished and as yet unperformed, The Haitian Chronicles is part of Ward's political project of satirizing, dramatizing, and revealing the structures of white supremacy throughout the history of this so-called civilization.

The Fab 5 Freddy Archive consists of Freddy’s production materials and business records, scripts, treatments, and creative notes. The Archive also consists of a substantial collection of reel-to-reel tapes, VHS, CDs, and DVDs from Freddy’s career. Because of Fab 5 Freddy’s icon status, his archive follows the thread of hip-hop internationally including the narratives of lesser-known musicians, artists, and filmmakers along with that of world-renowned and groundbreaking artistic figures. Additionally, this archive includes clothing and behind-the-scenes photographs of hip-hop history, including the birthday party of Sean “Diddy” Combs. Many photographs are also production shots from videos and films Freddy has worked on from the 1980s up until present.
