(NECN: Chilmark, Mass.) - Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates joked on Sunday about his arrest by Sgt. James Crowley weeks ago at his Cambridge, Massachusetts home.
"I offered to get his kinds into Harvard, if he doesn't arrest me ever again," Gates joked of his White House meeting with Crowley and President Barack Obama.
In his first public appearance since what was called the 'Beer Summit', Gates spoke at a book signing on Martha's Vineyard.
He also said that he has received death and bomb threats after the incident at his Cambridge home.
"I shut down my public e-mail, because on the one hand we were getting thousand of fan letters, but we were also getting many many crazy, wacko 'You should die, you're a racist', etc.," Gates said.
He said that Harvard officials even suggested that he consider moving.
