Executives from the diamond industry gathered in New York today for the Rapaport International Diamond Conference.

The goal of this year's conference is social responsibility, and ethical production of diamonds. But while industry leaders discussed how to diffuse the "blood diamond" reputation, demonstrators outside the conference protested the poverty and exploitation of millions of people in diamond producing countries. James Williams of the Community News Production Institute reports.
