15. Not all that proud of them.

They should have done this decades ago. They knew and did nothing as long as they could away with it.
But now, under intense scrutiny and pressure---they finally do the right thing.

They should go further and make a statement about the shameful omission in teaching history at all levels in this country---about how the presence of slavery built the country's wealth and infrastructure and how history is not taught.

Now--onto Columbia which, as I understand it, has some slavery-denial issues of its own.

All these places need to come clean and then offer massive scholarships to Black students to atone for their deeply collusiveness and apathetic behavior.
