[Yoshie Furuhashi]

The topic of the next President and Provost's Diversity Lecture 
Series at the Ohio State University is "The Debt: What America Owes 
Blacks," featuring Randall Robinson, president of TransAfrica and the 
TransAfrica Forum.  Robinson is the author of _The Debt_, a social 
and political text about the crime of slavery and its impact on 
persons of African descent.  In it, he calls for the U.S. government 
and corporations to pay African Americans reparations for the damages 
caused by slavery and oppression.  He will speak at 9 a.m. on 
Tuesday, January 22 in the Ohio Union Ballrooms on the first floor of 
the Ohio Union (here's the floor plan of the Ohio Union:
