"Great Day Houston" tackles faith and hip hop with Russell Simmons, Bun B, and Von Won

This morning's episode of "Great Day Houston" (aka the local version of the Oprah Winfrey Show) covered the intersection of faith and hip hop.

Deborah Duncan's show included several segments with:

• An interview with Russell Simmons about his new "Super Rich" book (which I covered last week for the Houston Chronicle)
• An interview with Bun B and Dr. Anthony Pinn about their "Religion and Hip Hop Culture" class at Rice University
• A performance of "He's Coming Back" from Houston urban inspirational artist Von Won and a band
  

Uncle Rush talks success & spirituality in Bun B's "Religion & Hip Hop Culture" class at Rice U

On Thursday I had the opportunity to cover Russell Simmons' visit to Bun B's "Religion & Hip Hop Culture" class at Rice University for the Houston Chronicle.

As you can see above, the story ended up on page B4 of the City/State section.
