Listeners respond: listeners react to Charles Ogletree on Henry Louis Gates
Yesterday we spoke with Harvard Law School professor Charles Ogletree about his new book on fellow Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates, and his infamous arrest at his home in Cambridge last summer. Ogletree’s book, “The Presumption of Guilt: The Arrest of Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Race, Class, and Crime in America” is sure to engender debate on race relations in America, and our interview with him got many of you talking.
