Surprise, surprise, Harvard was founded on the principle of "fresh lettuce and fresh towels".
Proving once again that woke suicidal empathy is fueled by guilt and shame.
Even the Jesuits at Georgetown held slaves.
I think we'd be justified in cancelling these universities founded and built on the back of slave labor, stripping them of their endowments and toppling their statues. This is social justice, right?
The endowments will be repurposed into a scholarship trust for descendents of Harvard's brutal and despicable oppression.

In case you haven’t noticed, Harvard stopped that practice in 1783 and has
spent a great deal of $$$ redressing it. Sadly, our current President still invites White Supremacists to dinner at the White House while attacking Harvard.
Harvard didn't admit it's first black student until 1865 and had fewer than 12 into the 1970s.
Get out your posters, your CoVid masks and your Molotov cocktails.
Harvard has certainly made an effort to improve the situation...Donald Trump...not so much.
Hahahahahah, guess you missed the part about them firing the researcher for finding too many slaves

Harvard still ceased to use slaves in 1783...and has taken steps to ameliorate the error. Not sure
what the significance of how many progeny there have been is.
Find the truth, make amends and repent would be one strategy.
