I know of most to them... Channing, Kent, Howe, Cooper and Gray I’ll have to look up.
Apparently New York University didn’t get the yankeefa memo requiring us to hate all Confederates, what with Rob’t E Lee on the first row. Guess the stupidity wasn’t as widespread in 1900 as it is in 2018.
Don’t know....
George Peabody, Joseph Story, Henry Beecher, Edwards, Channing, Kent or Gray.
Wouldn’t be surprised if I know their connections, to geography or famous institutions.
Elias Howe credited with sewing machine.
Peter Cooper’s Tom Thumb...locomotive engineer (designer kind), very famous to us Ellicott City locals.
Elias Howe: inventor of sewing machine,
All of them are white males. New York University must immediately be shut down and its assets liquidated; all degrees granted by it should be immediately cancelled.
No justice, no peace.
