Aug. 30, 2014. Theodore Taylor III appears at the 2014 Library of Congress National Book Festival in Washington, D.C. Speaker Biography: Theodore Taylor III is a Washington- based artist, designer and photographer. He studied communication arts at Virginia Commonwealth University. Written by Laban Carrick Hill and illustrated by Taylor, "When the Beat Was Born: DJ Kool Herc and the Creation of Hip Hop" (Roaring Brook/Macmillan) offers kids an explanation of an underrepresented piece of history: It focuses on the life of DJ Kool Herc and the birth of hip-hop, a new type of music that, with its positive social force, would come to define a culture and transform the world.
