‘HOOPS’ stage play explores how hoop earrings embody personal culture, pride

Nicole Acosta, HOOPS creator The origins of hoop earrings date back thousands of years.

Jackie Lay/NPR For a long time, De La Soul tracks felt like Easter eggs, littered across the landscape for only the most enterprising young rap fans to stumble across.
