What say you dr bombay? news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2022/04/slavery-probe-harvards-ties-inseparable-from-rise/Anew report shows that Harvard’s ties to slavery were transformative in the University’s rise to global prominence, and included enslaved individuals on campus, funding from donors engaged in the slave trade, and intellectual leadership that obstructed efforts to achieve racial equality. The report of the Presidential Committee on Harvard and the Legacy of Slavery, released Tuesday, describes a history that began with a Colonial-era embrace of slavery that saw more than 70 people enslaved by Harvard presidents and other leaders, faculty, and staff Harvard’s slavery ties extended beyond abolition in Massachusetts, in 1783, through the pre-Civil War period, when wealthy donors boosted the University with funds earned through slave trading and slavery-dependent businesses, such as Caribbean sugar and Southern cotton. The effects carried into the post-slavery era and the 20th century, as prominent faculty members promoted eugenics, discrimination tainted admissions and housing, and Harvard became one of the nation’s most prestigious institutions by catering to America’s white, wealthy upper class. Despite recent efforts to address this history, legacies of slavery persist today.

My college alma mater, Brown University, also profiteered from slavery in the 18th century, despite the fact that the founder of Rhode Island, Roger Williams, sought to ban slavery from the Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.
The economy of the American colonies-- including the New England merchants who largely bankrolled the Ivy League colleges-- was enmeshed with slave trafficking.
To their credit, Ivy League universities like Brown and Harvard have made considerable strides during the past half century in matriculating and supporting black students.
