>Synopsis: The reparations debate, once considered the focus of 
>fringe elements, is now part of the mainstream discussion about 
>history and race relations, in America, and beyond. In moving to the 
>center, not only has this newly invigorated reparations movement 
>created feverish debate, and pointed disagreements, but it also has 
>added a new cast of supporters to the discussion. To be sure, some 
>opponents continue to believe that the call for reparations will 
>only exacerbate difficulties in race relations in America. At the 
>same time, owing to recent developments, some staunch reparations 
>opponents have offered measured support for such a movement, and the 
>debate has caused a growing consensus among African-Americans as to 
>the merits of such claims. As he will outline in his presentation, 
>Professor Charles Ogletree, Jr., (Harvard Law School, and cochair of 
>the Reparations Coordinating Committee) believes it will generate a 
>long overdue discussion of race relations in America.
