Isaac Royall Jr. was a slave owner in the 1700’s.
Upon his death in 1781 he left Harvard College with a substantial gift which was used to create Harvard Law School.
In honor of his contribution to the school, the school’s seal was modified with addition of the Royall family’s coat of arms.
SJW Student groups have called for the Royall family’s coat of arms to be removed and that the Royall Chair of Law be renamed as well.
Harvard has told them to pick cotton.
I am praying that the IRS will tax the endowment funds that Harvard, Yale and the other “Ivies” use to pollute the minds of those who matriculate there.
Actually Harvard has given in to the student activists. Harvard is removing the Royall family seal, even though their law school was founded on the money received from the family.
Going forward, any gifts to Harvard will include iron-clad restrictions on the use of money.
I wonder if the Royall family descendants will sue the school for return of their money.
