Did anyone catch the "Conversation About Race (Meeting David Wilson) Special on MSNBC last night?

Hello Family and Friends, (I wrote this post on another website, but I feel its necessary to add here as well)...

Did anyone catch the "Conversation About Race (Meeting David Wilson) Special on MSNBC last night? It was a live telecast at Howard University. It was a great discussion and great forum for students, faculty and other residents of the Washington DC area to chime in on about "RACE RELATIONS". This "Conversation" has become of hot topic every day as Mr. Barack Obama inches closer to the Democratic Nomination, as well, as the Presidential Nomination.

“Meeting David Wilson” tracks Wilson’s journey to North Carolina to meet David B. Wilson, a descendant of the white Southern family that owned his ancestors during the slavery era. David's journey was eye-opening. Working with Nancy Carter Moore, a genealogical researcher, he learned that his family had been enslaved for three generations on vast plantations across North Carolina and Virginia belonging to the wealthy Wilson family.

On the panel last night was:
-Tom Joyner (The Tom Joyner Show)
-Michael Eric Dyson (author and Georgetown University professor
-Malaak Compton-Rock (an entrepreneur and wife of comedian Chris Rock)
-Rev. DeForest Soaries (a prominent Republican activist)
and many more, such as Washington DC's police chief, Kevin Powell (activist, 1st Real World),etc..

One of the questions posed was "Does America owe all black people an apology for slavery"?

So, my question to all of you... Do we? Who would make the apology to make it feel better? Are Reparations in order? What are you thoughts?
