Jada Pinkett Smith testifies on fight against human trafficking

By Judy Kurtz - 07/17/12 03:01 PM ET

Actress Jada Pinkett Smith and “Men in Black” hubby Will Smith were spotted at the Hart Senate Office Building Tuesday morning donning matching “Free Slaves” T-shirts.

Pinkett Smith testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on her work fighting human trafficking.

The “Matrix Reloaded” star advocated on behalf of the “Don’t Sell Bodies” campaign, an organization she told E! News she started after her 11-year-old daughter, Willow, (of “Whip My Hair” fame) watched the Kony 2012 Web video on childhood sex trafficking.
