> Harvard is among the latest major universities to engage in a public reckoning with their role in slavery<p>Since Harvard is in Massachusetts, which was part of the Union, will the "role in slavery" that they're "publicly reckoning with" include the Union's bloody war <i>against</i> slavery and their own kin? Perhaps a big monument to all the dead and killed, to all the contributions Harvard and those connected to it made to the war, to which an annual ceremony of gratitude could be given?<p>Or will we only remember connections <i>to</i> slavery, not <i>against</i>? Sacrifice and good deeds get forgotten, profit and evil deeds remembered forever - if and only if the culprit is a designated oppressor, of course.
