Sad Jesuits were slave owners even in the 1830s. They should of known better.

Orwell would be proud.

Isn’t a “fluke” the same as an accident?

How about renaming it Anthony Johnson Hall, in honor of the first slave owner in the British colonies. He was black.

I often wonder just how much thought was given by the average person to the negro as a slave in the America of antebellum days? Did the people of those days lose any sleep over the plight of the negro? Did people of those days lose their appetite over the fact the negro was generally held in bondage or if not a slave excluded from the rest of our society? I really tend to doubt it as crops had to be planted ships built, governments administered etc.

In related news, Harvard Law students are demanding that Harvard replace the law school seal because it represents the seal of the family of the guy who donated the land and money to establish the law school, who was a slaveholder.

I haven't heard that they're demanding Harvard return the land and the 2015 equivalent of the money to the descendants of the donor. After all, blood money is blood money . . . ;-)

Because there is absolutely nothing more important that these people need to be concerned about.

So, when do we have to rename Washington, DC?

When will the Left stop demanding a totalitarian state and just demand this allegedly irredeemably racist country be simply disestablished so we can start over?

Wouldn't it be better to just tear the buildings down?

For that matter, destroy the whole campus.

Then, there is the Capitol building of the federal government . . . built in part with slave labor . . .

Then, there is the Washington monument, built in part with slave labor . . .

Then there is the Lincoln monument, honoring an outspoken white supremacist . . .

I wonder if anyone has looked up how the slaves were treated in Louisiana and how their descendants made out. Probably better than those in the ‘hood.

I also wonder if any of these Jesuits have ever heard of St. Peter Claver.

Self-centered idiots (btw—that is redundnat if you know Greek).
