[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about a Brown University, which was founded by actual slave traders? [/quote] Really, really bad example. Brown completely owns up to it’s history, and is repentant for it. I think if W&L removed the Lee statues and replaced it with he kind of slavery memorial Brown has on campus, that would go a long way. So your example kind of proves the opposing point.[/quote] [img]https://www.hmdb.org/Photos3/395/Photo395826.jpg [/img][/quote] Does it? That memorial uses language that is much less strong than the language in the W&L resolution. It says, in very general terms, that the University benefitted from the slave trade in Rhode Island, but doesn’t even mention Mr. Brown himself. And they kept the Brown name, so by pp’s standard, they can’t have truly condemned his actions. Still waiting on the condemnation of Dartmouth, Barnard, Johns Hopkins, & Rutgers. [/quote]
