visual and performing arts; to promote awareness of diverse cultural heritages;
and to promote global citizenship.

Hip-hop comes to Broadway, thanks to entrepreneur Russell Simmons (Phat Farm,
HBO's "The Def Comedy Jam"), who presents Def Poetry Jam on Broadway.
The show is described as "an evening of entertainment featuring nine performance
poets with a new American voice, taking a fresh, exuberant, insightful, comedic
look at who we are and where we are today." The poets have been selected
by Simmons and Stan Lathan from the best of the performers on their HBO series.
To reserve a spot, please email or call Mailee at
maileekue@uri.edu or 874-5829. Please RSVP by April 18, 2003.
