Contesting the neutrality of this page for removing this bit:

"One of the more infamous moments of Major Owens' career came in 1995, when he announced that 200 million slaves were thrown overboard and into the Atlantic Ocean during the years of the slave trade. Even more laughable was the notion that this wound up altering the ecology of the ocean, as sharks began following the slave ships. Rep. Owens later apologized for citing phony numbers."

I object to the movement of the Owens article from "Major Owens" to "Robert Odell Owens".

Major is his first name, not a title.

I moved the page back. Major is his first name, not a title.

Someone should mention that his son lost the primary and include a link to his son's web page.
