The article mentions "Leopold’s Anti-Slavery Conference". How does anti-slavery and Leopold II of Belgium go together? Isn't that the guy who is mainly remembered for many atrocities in Congo? 138.232.67.15 13:49, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Leopold II ran several sham conferences/organizations to cover up what he was doing in the Congo; this was another example of his doing that, just as he initially did with philanthropic cover stories. matt91486 14:42, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't think this article is a stub article, I think it should probably be start class. Of course, I wrote much of it so I could be biased, but it's well referenced and comprehensive enough for start class in my mind. matt91486 16:27, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
