Supporters of the Millions for Reparations March held a press conference in the National Press Club on Monday, August 12, 2002.

The Millions for Reparations March is planned for Washington DC on Saturday August 17th. Reparations advocates charge that descendants of enslaved blacks are owed for their ancestors' unpaid labor and other consequences of slavery.

Shown here in the photograph are DC Councilmember Sandy Allen (seated) and March Co-Chair Viola Plummer (at the podium).
