It’s a shame when you consider where Harvard (and others founded by Puritans) is now compared to how and why they were started.

It is no surprise to me that we could find ties to slavery in most everything you researched from that area and many others in the US.

You need to use the YouTube embed code rather than the direct page link.

I hate offended people. They come in two flavours - huffy and whiny - and it's hard to know which is worst. The huffy ones are self-important, narcissistic authoritarians in love with the sound of their own booming disapproval, while the whiny, sparrowlike ones are so annoying and sickly and ill-equipped for life on Earth you just want to smack them round the head until they stop crying and grow up.
- Charlie Brooker

"Cuba’s original enslaver, Isaac Royall Jr, didn’t have any direct ties to Harvard while he was living, but he endowed a professorship in his will, likely to ensure his legacy would live on as a member of the colonial elite. The seal of Harvard Law School was the Royall family crest until 2016, when students protested to demand its replacement. The Royall professorship was retired in 2022."

Also, Isaac Royale donated the money to fund Harvard Law School's beginning. If the Left was serious about slavery, this would have to be addressed. Royale DID have direct ties to Harvard while he was living, and was exiled to England because of his loyalty to the King.
