Russell Simmons, who recently released his book "Life And Def," will discuss his new book at a workshop at New York City’s Boys & Girls High School. Co-author and longtime friend and writer Nelson George will also be present. The workshop will be moderated by journalist/activist Kevin Powell. Taking place Saturday, November 17, 2001 at 7 P.M., the Boys & Girls High School is located at 1700 Fulton Street (Bed-Stuy) Brooklyn New York. When asked why he chose to do a book signing and workshop in Brooklyn as opposed to a flashier venue, Simmons told allhiphop.com "I love going to the hood and meeting kids. I like to discuss their experiences, they inspire and change me." There will also be performances by Poets features in the new anthology, "Bum Rush The Page: A Def Poetry Jam." Simmons recently finished taping and editing his HBO special, Def Poetry Slam, which featured top poets from around the country and was hosted by Mos Def. For more info email: aworksongs@aol.com
