Who knew the founders of Harvard owned slaves?


Jun 9, 2020, 5:31 PM

Where is the outrage? Why aren't people trying to change the names there? This crap is so irrelevant to living today.

Had not heard that, but Elihu Yale was supposedly involved in slave trading. If you can believe the internet, the Ivy League has some issues that are being swept under the rug. If they won more games, they may be exposed.

I thought everyone knew that. There was a big stink several years ago, probably the same time of the sit ins at Clemson.

I remember specifically Harvard, Yale and Georgetown making statements and renaming buildings back then.

They aren’t getting hammered now because they did what people asked, when they asked.

Because that does not fit their narrative......so it didn’t happen.....Go Tigers!!!!!

I did. But certainly not because they publicize it.

Did you know the history of the Yankee slave trade ?

What are the buildings there named after devout racist slave owners?
