"The American Divide"
On October 6, 2009 WCSU convened a panel of citizens and experts to discuss the case of Henry Louis Gates, the African American professor from Harvard who was arrested in his home over the summer, along with the resulting discussion of race that the issue spurred across the country. Panelists generally agreed that race and sensitivity toward the subject should be fully discussed, and people of different backgrounds must try to understand others’ perspectives before race becomes a non-issue in the United States.
