Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Our Danny Fulgencio happened by the Dallas Rocks benefit Saturday night at Union Station, where Def Jam co-founder Russell Simmons gathered quite the hodgepodge of celebrities for his African empowerment-through-education fundraiser: Smokey Robinson (who performed), Barbara Bush and Jenna Bush-Hager, Veronica Webb, former Houston Rocket Dikembe Mutombo, ex Duncanville High star-turned-Denver Bronco Ray Crockett and Joseph Simmons -- you know, the man who put the "Run" in Run-D.M.C. Danny brought back this slide show; it's almost like being there.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
