as a proud member of the class of '98, thank you for the shout-out. when i left, there were only a few of us still being activists on campus so it thrilled me to know that we were making bold steps once again (very reminiscient of SC's work in the 60s and 70s).
regarding the purpose of the concert: yes, the concert was a drive/benefit for bone marrow; however, Nelly's foundation is for children and he was to be associated with the drive. according to the alumna newsletter i received, spelman plans on doing another bone marrow drive, just not with Nelly.
peace! li
