Thousands To Rally for Reparations 
Apology Also Sought For Slave Descendents 

By Manny Fernandez

Thousands of African American activists plan to bring their demands for
reparations from the U.S. government for centuries of slavery and racism
to the Capitol tomorrow, where hundreds of slaves toiled during its
construction more than 200 years ago.

"They owe us," said Lewis Andrews, a rally organizer, reciting the
official theme of the Millions for Reparations rally. "We built this,
but what do we get?"

Organizers said they want to focus national attention on the burgeoning
reparations movement and call for compensation to the descendants of
slaves for their unpaid labor and the untold horrors of bondage, the
legacy of which organizers say is responsible for many of the social and
economic ills facing some African American communities today.

"We're talking about a crime against our person, a crime against
humanity that has gone unpaid," said Andrews, 55, a minister with the
Temple of the Black Messiah in Baltimore.
