The highlight of the NDABA V Reparations Conference was the mass meeting held in the evening at Clark Atlanta University.  The mass rally brought together students and organizational leaders from all  ideological streams of the Black liberation movement.

This was the first time that Minister Farrakhan had been allowed to speak on a Black college campus in nearly 20 years.

The students honored him that night with a special plaque and numerous standing ovations throughout the fiery and inspirational lecture. 

Introduced by Attorney Malik Zulu Shabazz, chairman of the New Black Panther Party, Minister Farrakhan told the crowd of students and community members that a moral awakening is needed among Black people. “We must show the world a new people coming up. Time for foolishness is over,” he insisted. “This is the year for us to break down all walls. This is our time.”
