The African-American scholars, activists and leaders who recently answered the politician Ben Chavis's call for a conversation in Baltimore wisely excluded the press from most of their exchange. So instead attention went to the sideshow, the inclusion of politician Louis Farrakhan. The conference started a valuable dialogue at a time of great economic desperation and racial hostility. Those who would delegitimize the summit because of their fears of Farrakham may be creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.
