03/28: Russell Simmons: Diddy Helped End Rockefeller Drug Laws
Brennan Williams of Black Voices reports:
"Ending the Rockefeller Drug Laws is a great victory for the hip-hop community," Russell Simmons said in a statement issued by his rep Jody Miller. "We worked hard, turned up the volume on this issue and rejuvenated and broadened the coalition, but it was hip-hop artists like Diddy, Jay-Z and 50 Cent that gave this movement for change the power to wake people up and to get the politicians to do the right thing."
