‘Rap 4 Peace’ to Honor Chuck D and Hip Hop 4 Peace Founder Tina Marie Tyler
The Rap 4 Peace conference and gala will honor Public Enemy icon Chuck D and Hip Hop 4 Peace founder Tina Marie Tyler.
The event will be held on National Gun Violence Awareness Day (June 2) at Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica, Calif. According to a recent study published by Brady United, Black people represent 14% of the U.S. population but account for 60% of those killed by gun homicide each year. “As we work to lessen gun homicides, especially in Black and vulnerable communities, we use this occasion to discuss issues, solutions and to honor those who are making peace a priority,” stated Guy Djoken in a press release announcing the forthcoming Rap 4 Peace: A Hip-Hop Gun Violence Awareness Conference & Gala.
