ruh roh ..... Duke University was named after


Jun 12, 2020, 11:32 PM

a slave owner!

Quote: "It is known that Duke owned one enslaved person, named Caroline, whom he purchased for $601, and had hired out the labor of an enslaved person from his neighbors to work on his farm.[4]"

This is from Wikipedia's biography of Washington Duke, the father of the founder of Duke University (who named the university after his father).
