A group of Harvard law students are calling for the faculty to drop their official shield, which they say honours a family who made their fortune through slavery.
The members of "Royall Must Fall" want the emblem of the school changing from the current coat of arms of Isaac Royall.
Royall, born in 1719 in Antigua, was the son of wealthy sugar plantation owners and slave traders. The family moved to Massachusetts and on the death of Royall's father, he inherited 12 African slaves -- more than any other household at the time.
Royall was banished from the US after the War of Independence and moved to England, where he died in 1781. And in his will he left land to Harvard College to establish the first professorship in law at the school.
And now students at the university are lobbying to remove Royall's name from their faculty.

The communists are overtaking our institution for real now, setting the tone and historical agenda while ignoring muslim and Chinese slavery. This is a globalist joke for American only mea culpa.
Maybe they should fire all the whites in Harvard like they did in MOU. That would serve the liberals right, always saying from their comfort zones that we need to free the Tsarnaev brothers because we bombed their country too. Well, so be it Boston.
What garbage!

Can you imagine what would happen to these people if they were to run out of real or perceived racists of 200 years ago to excoriate? They would then be forced to look squarely at themselves, and to realize they are losers.
Maybe all football players from teams at these schools should immediately quit the team, and all of these schools should be immediately shut down.
BURN THE WHOLE PLACE DOWN!!!
Yes, and the students of Harvard should serve as indentured servants for a minimum of 12 years to a black slave descendent.
Why have the names been deleted?
