The theme of being my brother’s keeper was very much evidenced at the recent BET press conference, where it was announced that the leading Black television network, along with the National Urban League, American Red Cross, Hip-Hop Summit Action Network Chairman Russell Simmons, Kevin Liles and the Warner Music Group, and Essence Communications, have joined forces in a telethon to raise financial aid to benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina. The telethon, which will be held on Friday, September 9 on BET, will start at 6 pm ET with a special benefit episode of “106 & Park: BET’S Top 10 Live.”"
