Three former Harvard presidents were slave owners and slaves worked on the Harvard campus.

None of MY ancestors owned slaves so don’t group me or my people with YOUR racist, slave owning massas.

” It reports that three Harvard presidents owned slaves; that slaves worked on campus as early as 1639; that among the first residents of Wadsworth House (built in 1726) were two slaves, Titus and Venus; that slave labor often underwrote the success of Harvard’s early private benefactors; and that the connection between College donations and slave-related industries persisted until the Civil War.”

But apparently not in DC or liberal state governments and NGOs.

Harvard has been living on its reputation for far too long. It is a pathetic liberal communist institution.
