Yeah! Yeah! Usher gets out the vote


Rapper Usher Raymond IV spoke at a press gallery at Low Library just now. He said the common goal between politicians, philanthropists and entertainers is to promote service. Usher, who looked smooth in a dark suit and sunglasses (it was an indoor event!), was flanked by three young men who are involved in youth-based service initiatives.
