The Washington Post gained what it has labeled an exclusive interview, Tuesday morning, with Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr., one of the nation’s elite scholars, after his arrest that smells a lot like racial profiling in Cambridge, Mass.
GATES: There are one million black men in jail in this country and last Thursday I was one of them. This is outrageous and that this is how poor black men across the country are treated everyday in the criminal justice system. It’s one thing to write about it, but altogether another to experience it.
