As an edit, MC Lyte and not Chris Lighty was on the panel for ‘Refresh Hip-Hop’ and Chaka from Disturbing the Peace (Ludacris’s label) also was on the panel.
Wow, that is an impressive lineup. I’ve been following Michelle Rhee of DC for awhile and curious to see how things turn out for DC schools…hopefully for the better.
