leader Hakeem Jeffries has only a 'vague recollection' of the controversy surrounding his anti-semite uncle but wrote a fiery op-ed in college defending him.The minority leader's Black studies professor Leonard Jeffries faced backlash in the 1990s after making comments about the involvement of 'rich Jews' in the slave trade and of Jewish executives launching 'a conspiracy, planned and plotted and programmed out of Hollywood' to denigrate Black Americans in films. When Jeffries was a college student at Binghamton University in New York, wrote an editorial in 1992 defending his uncle and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. The school's Black Student Union, where Jeffries was an executive board member, had invited the university professor to speak after the controversy.
