This brief statement is being submitted on behalf of my client, friend, and colleague, Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. This is a statement concerning the arrest of Professor Gates

A Harvard law professor who taught presidential candidate Barack Obama - and his wife, Michelle - spoke for nearly two hours yesterday about the man who first impressed him as a law student.
"I'm so excited about this candidacy that I just can't tell you. I'm just overfull with joy," Professor Charles Ogletree said to 35 mostly African-American professionals gathered at the faculty club in the Hilton Hotel Toledo on the University of Toledo Health Science Campus, the former Medical College of Ohio. http://obamaendorsements.blogspot.com/2008/03/obamas-harvard-law-professor.html
Ogletree became a campus radical, organizing an Afrocentric (though still integrated) dormitory, where he met his future wife, Pamela Barnes. He edited a campus Black Panther newspaper called The Real News and traveled to Africa and Cuba as part of student activist groups.

Charles Ogletree Jr. (right, with Michelle Obama), himself a Harvard University professor, is closely linked to the Black Panthers and to radical black ideology. He is a key member of the reparations movement and once pursued the possibility of bringing a class action lawsuit to win reparations for descendants of African slaves.

Gates co-wrote two books with Obama's "comrade", Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member Cornel West. Gates is also close to another DSA supporter who Obama once shared a DSA organized forum with-academic William Julius Wilson
It also turns out that Ogletree was a hard core radical with roots in the Maoist influenced Black Panthers movement. It also seems that Ogletree is still a militant leftist and is still called on by the Obamas for advice.
