Russell Simmons is a hip-hop icon and global celebrity, but chat
with him awhile and he expresses that even wealth, fame and power don't

chaotic. So at a time when America is grappling with a rash of killings
involving police and black civilians, the mogul is pushing to encourage peace and healing in communities nationwide.
"My heart is broken for the families of Alton
Sterling, Philando Castile and all who've been victimized at the hands
of police, and for the law enforcement officers who've senselessly lost
their lives," said Simmons, Chairman and CEO of Rush Communications.
"While I am saddened and outraged,
I realize that throwing my hands up in frustration won't accomplish
anything. I want to be part of the process to build trust between police
and the community, and provide meaningful gestures that will help with
reforms."
