  • Ludacris Urges Students To Donate Books In 'Epic Book Drive'

    [YT]JusbyYhVfEQ[/YT]

    Ludacris is helping high schools in New Orleans replenish their libraries, after numerous learning institutions were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2006.

    The Atlanta rap star has teamed with global bookstore Better World Books and non-profit DoSomething.org to launch the "Epic Book Drive" to re-stock libraries in New Orleans' Recovery School District.

    Ludacris serves a spokesman for the "Epic Book Drive" and is featured in PSA's for the initiative, which is calling on students all across the country to band together to share books, especially in New Orleans, where 80% of the schools were damaged by Hurricane Katrina.

    “I am proud to be a spokesperson for this initiative as it’s in line with my dedication to empowering young people,” Ludacris said in a statement.

    "The campaign is giving something as simple as a book to a student in a much needed area like the Recovery District so they can have the opportunity to read, communicate and be inspired," Ludacris continued. "Sharing in this way will have an incredible impact on the confidence and abilities of the next generation of leaders and I’m excited to be leading the charge.”
