Oprah's Imus-Inspired Town Hall Meeting Turns to Hip hop

- news link from Ryan Clark, about 1 year ago

In light of the Don Imus issue, Oprah formed a “town hall” meeting with a panel of experts who discussed the issue, opening up about racism and the denigration and sexual exploitation of women. A conversation that needed to be brought to attention. Part two of the town hall comes just a day later. This time the hip hop community has it’s chance to speak with music mogul Russell Simmons; record exec. Kevin Liles; Dr. Benjamin Chavis, former CEO of the NAACP and current President/CEO of the Hip Hop Summit Network; and Grammy-winning rapper Common as their voice.
