Harvard's Deep Ties to Slavery: Report Shows It Profited, Then Tried to Erase History of Complicity
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2022
- In the final part of our Juneteenth special broadcast, we look at Harvard University's recent report detailing the school's extensive ties to slavery and pledged $100 million for a fund for scholars to continue to research the topic. The report documents dozens of prominent people associated with Harvard who enslaved people, including four Harvard presidents. Harvard commissioned the study in 2019 as part of a wave of schools reckoning with their pasts and the ongoing legacy of racial discrimination. "Harvard's ties to slavery begin with the founding of the institution," says MIT historian Craig Steven Wilder, author of "Ebony & Ivy: Race, Slavery, and the Troubled History of America's Universities." Wilder says that while this history is not new, Harvard worked for decades to erase its complicity in slavery. "We're really only beginning to reconcile and to really struggle with the deep ties that this institution has to slavery," he adds.

after going down the rabbit hole of some research that i was doing, i ran across an article that shows the main road in my city is named after the largest slave owner in this county that i live in. All of the roads in the main part of town are named after slave owners. I posted it on one of my social medias and i cannot find my post or the article anywhere now. there is definitely an intention to distort our memories.
100 million dollars for research lol but nothing to reparations
These people are true barbarians! That is all I can say about them.
What we call "civilization" is nothing but domestication of human resources.
Moloch system...
We are and have moved into that new age of truth, pure water is clear, the age of the two little fish and five loaves of bread is on the table with that clear Glass of Water
No wonder they are persistently racist and mentally bemused. They insist on dwelling in hoarding scientific horror of their evil passed in their so called prestigious Harvard University. It does not surprise me why they reject Critical Race Theory, it openly reminds them about the evil doings of their forefathers and ancestors.
Facts!!!
@@gregorycooksey410 from my side the water is still pretty murky, dark and gloomy
The gaslighting black people have to contend with on this level, it's a wonder we stay sane in this society. The man, not even able to rest in peace to this day - imagine.

Thank you for producing and broadcasting this piece!
I’m sure more institutions were complicit in those times. It was their society.
Yep. I’m really glad Harvard is choosing to acknowledge that part of it’s history. It’s really important.
Slavery has been found in the US wealthiest classes like the Jewish family of Monsanto, as slaveholders also, in the end, cry as victims, when A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on,

I've been thinking about studying history, the only problem is I know the university's are part of the cover up
Don't give up. Research colleges and universities to find the ones who are not covering up this history, but trying to bring it to light. Pursue your passion
slavery has been a cover-up since the beginning of time. It's in-bedded in every fiber of this earth, how do you make a wrong a right?
@@ngatoa1018
Yes it does...
But not much wisdom.
Very revealing. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👍🏾
This is so upsetting as a black person 🤬🤬🤬
So much money to be had over slavery! They did not want this to ever end! Talk about the love of money being the root of EVIL. This is a paramount example of it.
Yep, they chose money and power over love and compassion. And created rot in society.
@@chocolatesugar4434 they show us exactly who they're n these individuals, so, so educated.
Agreed. This kind of wide-spread, systematized inhumane behavior in the early modern era can usually be tied back to capitalism and it's phase of "primitive accumulation". And later to imperialism and the division and re-division of land, peoples and resources by the powerful and wealthy. It's a sick system, and it needs to be changed.
@EL CID - If you have to ask, you must be profoundly ignorant and/or a white supremacist, or a troll getting paid to troll.
Enslavement took on another form...the struggle continues.
My country Cape Verd 🏝 got independence from Portugal 🇵🇹 in 1975 i was a teenager I remember the day clearly. This things didn't happen long time ago.
Whether it happened in 1610, 1975 or 2022. It doesn't matter. We as a nation should take responsibility for our nation's past crimes against humanity. And we must NEVER ever forget. Reconciliation is a joke. To reconcile means that there was a past positive relationship. That did not exist here or anywhere in the world when slavery existed. So reconciliation is ludicrous. It's just about owning it...and never letting that memory fade.
And I heard a lot of negative things about Cape Verde when it comes to their feeling about being "black".
Harvard just retracted a smear campaign article against ADOS Advocacy foundation. You should cover that story as well. Especially given how rare a retraction is by Harvard.
I agree completely!

The OSS psychological profile of Hitler described him thus:
"His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it."
Sound familiar?
Sounds like Trumpty Dumbty to me.
Sounds like the US military
Sounds like the whole west...
It sounds exactly what is going on in some countries in the world. Some extremist leaders are using these kind of rhetoric, lie, lie lie, and lie. It is a psychopath narcissist characteristic . It seems it is working, even they have followers like Hitler time.
Yes it does. It's the blueprint for fascism and autocratic, authoritarian, dictator leaders. It also sounds like what comes out of the mouth of Don The Con and his cronies.

The worse stuff about bad guys is they think they're actually the good FOLKS
Blame the Democrats who invented racism and every racist institution from the kkk,eugenics-planned parenthood,the trail of tears ect.Even the Nazis modeled themselves after the southern Jacksonian democrats and created the Nuremberg laws.They started off as slavers and whites only party 180 years ago and minorities have only been voting for them for about 60yrs. That’s 120 years of straight white supremacy compared to republicans 0yrs.They are the establishment and control the narrative,If you vote democrat youre a brainwashed fool and a trader to your race.
That is a fact. Good observation
Very true, expressed in a simply and elementary way. Your absolutely right
Great Post 👍🏿👍🏿
It’s worse than I thought!
They don't put this stuff in the history 📜 books in school ✏️
Wow these Harvard guys were neanderthals
Still are
You think neanderthals are bad?
Just look at today´s humans!
I studied this history in college a long time ago and we’re still needing to re learn it- louder and stronger now - these professors can do it!!
Yes, so much wrong can be made right! It's an opportunity to really turn a corner
@@chocolatesugar4434
Yes!! Well said ❗️
American schooling will not teach in school, highschool real history of slavery, when you are in college thinking about the rent, then let you read history, when hard to show any interest,
7:14 If we had ever done anything even half as bad as this to them, we would never hear the end of it and every single one of us would still be paying a special tax to compensate them for it.
Really appreciate DN doing this today. We need more education not less.

Thank you, Amy. x

That's why it's so important for us living people to address this
When brain washing you, they are chosen one in human race , start the slavery of others, by USARY
And this is EXACTLY Y REPARATIONS MUST B PAID
This is special !! Thanks again
The only investigation about reparations should be to find all the other companies and family that still exist and how much they HAVE to pay, with the government for REPERATIONS!
Just take a look at all your insurance companies. Like Farmers Insurance, the Slave Master insured there slaves through these Big companies I asked, what's the fear of Black people. When the real Savages were the Slave Master's and there family members who still benefit financially. These so called intellects were evil to the core. So when I see a white person attending these so called prestigious Universities. It makes me want to vomit, knowing many of them are only
*LMAOO...* you expect family members alive today to pay for 1 guy buying up a hanful of you guy's (that were sold by y'all's best friends)??? Yeah. _No..._ You don't "pay for someone else's crime". Sorta like if you had an adult child that enjoys looting CVS and other stores in California; Should *YOU* go to jail if you live in New York? You'd pop yo lips _"Nu-UHH, dat racist!"_ Okie dokie then... Quit thinking you'll get any more money from me than the minimum wage. Everyone deserves "reparations", but you don't see me whining for what all your ancestors took from my family or myself.
Which is why they should fully give funds to more Afro-American students. The number of students at Harvard University of color is still significantly low.
This is actually a smart way to go about this and something pretty much all Americans would get behind. It’s only when they target white people *as a whole* that it becomes a contested issue. Which is reasonable, as for all we know that white person’s ancestors could’ve been avid abolitionists who fought like hell for civil rights. It’s less about the money and more about the principle of just blanket shaming like that. But that’s how the state and media do - frame things in a way that will elicit emotional responses from both sides, creating more division, more anger and hate, more distraction from their sadistic games. They were slime then and they’re still slime now.
Same behaviour , reminds me of Sara Baartmans life and story🤔🤔🤔
Damn!
Thank you for exposing this hidden history.
HORRIBLE 👺😈 HARVARD NEEDS TO REST THE SKELETON OF THAT YOUNG MAN 👨🏽 MAY HE N ALL THE PEOPLE USED, R.I.P. 🥀💔💓
I agree. Fed and state governments should pass into law a Black Americans Grave Protection and Repatriation Act, similar to the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act. Remains should be returned to families or other appropriate entities and graves protected. This should be written into law and enforced.
@@ComesTheLight It's long overdue, so of course they'll take another 20 years to do it.
When certain students complain about affirmative action in admission to Harvard, they never bring up this history. They only want to talk about grades and GPA.
I met somebody like that yesterday. A white guy who was potentially on the fastrack to promotion in the manager ranks at a casino owned by a tribe, but he quit because he knew if an Native American applied for the same job, he -- the white guy -- would be passed over. So he complained, saying everything should be "equal" and based on grades and performance.
Facts!!!
They are always complaining about things concerning black Americans, especially when it comes to universities and colleges. Look at how they talk about black athletes who bring in millions of dollars to 99% of these "PWI" colleges.
@@ComesTheLight
Even if it is based on grades, they will still find a way to complain!!! When black students have a high gpa, whites and others non black students will try to make up lies about how those black students got that high gpa. They do it all the time!!!
@Sapphire 💜 If that were true than a certain segment of the population wouldn't be in charge of everything. Others would be in the mix in larger numbers.
I would love to meet someone that was helped by affirmative action. They way some tell it, we all get it.
Truly the American way
Anglo-saxon way.
"white man´s burden" is a British idea.
Every culture has used slaves
A fantastic book! Thank you so much for your work Amy and guest. Curators who's patron is a better world are the spirit of humanity. Thank you.
This interview/semi-docu is very revealing. Trading humans is one of the trademarks of early capitalism. Very Informative interview.
Look deeper into socialism. Capitalism without slavery is a world better. With capitalism at there is a chance something better, With socialism, communism or what ever has been tried so far has led to enslavement of the population. One way or another. Wish you well and God Bless
@@calvindement5951 for sure Jesus was not for capitalism. God bless you too.

This is very upseting. Thank you Democracy Now, for reporting the truth.
the same people who benifit from tobacco sales today benefited from the slave trade yesterday, basically cigarette smokers are still paying the master
Scratching the surface and obviously still at work. Yep, this is special.
But we’re still slaves! The WAGE IS SLAVERY too!
We still have wealthy, self-dealing oligarchs today who control most of the wealth in the US. They buy politicians and want to nullify civil and human rights. They want authoritarian governments so they can have their way. All because of profit and greed and power, just like the slaveholders.
And Just WHY hasn't Any Goodman interviewed *Kamilah Moore* the chair of the California Reparations Task Force on their historic 500 pg report? And their groundbreaking decision to set a precedent of lineage based Reparations 😳 Why ? !!
Not surprised
Not at all. The same is about Duke University.
The only way I can see Harvard atoning for it's past crimes against black people in America is to accept those blacks that meet entrance requirements free of tuition.
Look We need to get paid period get busy. Where is my Money.

Paid by tax money?
So even the black people should pay taxes for the "reparations"?
Or are you going to hold the "elite" responsible that like to hide their wealth in offshore accounts or big "charitable organizations"?
@@halloola3636 The country that took millions into slavery and currently have their offspring subjected to systemic racism and plagued with a plethora of ills is still here. The "American Govt" owes reparative compensation to descendants of slaves. Did you know it took the Haitian Govt 122 years to completely pay off reparations to France for reasons which were literally asinine? America threaten her with sanctions if she did not, so it is only just for America to pay descendants of slaves over the course of the next 122 years until it's paid in full!
@@spadesmaster2153 So you clearly can´t answer my question?
Who´s that "country"?
Are children of slaves supposed to pay taxes for these "reperations" and the "elite" to - again - go unpunished?
@@spadesmaster2153 You sound more like another "eliticist" manipulator than someone actually interested in truth and justice... "Spades Master"...
@@halloola3636 America is the country, I made that clear... and why would children of slaves pay taxes on reparations? Something that's intended for them? I am confused about your elitist question. Whom are you talking about when it comes to Elite? Right now the argument is for America to pay. I do not know whom you are referring to when it comes to those of whom are among the Elite, but ultimately all will pay whom had a hand in enslaving my people!
Pay the descendents of those slave, don't give it back to the institution...
Thank you!
Looking forward to a Juneteenth when these segments are no longer "special".
Right on. They need to be a part of mainstream history and we need to talk about this history daily. Come on, y'all -- stop whitewashing and sweeping this under the rug. GO HARVARD!

Interesting report, I would have love to hear Proff. Wilder answer the question, who were the royal family?
Bro....what the hell¡!!!
All the universities that had slavery ties should have scholarships for black students who had a history of slaves in their families.
THEY ARE THE REAL SAVAGE'S!!!!! PEOPLE DEFLECT TO TAKE ATTENTION OFF THEMSELVES THE BEAST WITHIN!!!!
Maybe the Harvard’s 11 billion dollar endowment can be cut in half and the money spent on building affordable housing in predominantly minority low income neighborhoods. That’s enough to buy over 15,000 low cost housing units and rent them at rates less than 80% of median rent, and still make back most of the investment over time.
That's one of the best ideas I've seen ever on YT.
You just don't get it, friend. You just don't get it. Should the descendants of enslaved people whose blood, sweat, tears, bones, skins, energy, etc was used to generate and is still generating billions and trillions of dollars for the United States and her elites see themselves as needing affordable housing?
A day will come when Caucasians will regret the condition you've put blacks in. Karma is Real!!!
REPARATIONS you can keep the affordable government program.
@@michaelcooper2871 Reparations cannot be the govt affordable program because more whites getting that than blacks.
