Hip-Hop, Politics, and Loving Indianapolis with Congressman André Carson

On this week's episode of Conversation Piece, Congressman André Carson joins us to talk about his journey from growing up in Indianapolis's Dodge City neighborhood to becoming a representative of Indiana's 7th Congressional District in Washington D.C. We talk about his early life as a hip-hop artist and activist, and how these experiences shaped his approach to politics and community service. The conversation explores themes of collaboration over competition in politics, the importance of building bridges between urban and rural communities, and strategies for sustainable political change in Indiana.
