...reception. The conference will continue today and tomorrow, focusing less on the report itself and more on its current significance to society, politics, and public policy. Topics to be discussed will include black male joblessness, discrimination in the workplace, and the presidential bid of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), a 1991 graduate of Harvard Law School. Harvard hired Moynihan to teach at the University from 1966 to 1977.
