2008 Kansas Legislature to Consider Condemnation of Gangsta Rap
December 3, 2007 at 12 Noon. Human Rights Activist Sonny Scroggins returns to the State Capitol as Civil War Soldier James Whitfield Ross of the First Kansas Colored. Ross’ appearance will coincide with the return of Don Imus to the airwaves on WABC radio in New York on this date. As a reminder, Imus was fired from his talk show because of negative remarks he made about the Rutgers women’s’ basketball team. This is a continuation of the protest for "misogynist lyrics" contained in gangsta rap which began this past winter in Ypsilanti, Michigan, and support of the proposed 2008 resolution authored in part by the Honorable Peggy Mast, Republican in the Kansas House of Representative. The resolution will be introduced in the 2008 Kansas legislative session.
Jessica James, a participant in the Wanamaker protest against hateful lyrics talked about in gangsta rap, has written a book titled, "Snatched from the Fire", service learning. Two chapters of the books are devoted to the evils perpetrated upon society from "gangsta rap".
The public is invited to attend and participate in this protest.
For more information, please call Sonny Scroggins @ 785-232-3761 or 785-845-6148.
