Will we be removing reference to George Washington next?
Via Breitbart:
The Harvard School of Law has approved a measure remove its seal because it contains the crest of a onetime slave-owning family, The Harvard Crimson has revealed.
The decision comes a week after the Harvard Law Committee released a report suggesting that the seal should be abandoned.
The current shield derives from the family crest of Isaac Royall, Jr., “whose bequest to the College in 1781 was used to create the first endowed professorship of law in the College in 1815.”
Royall reportedly “derived his wealth from the labor of enslaved persons on a plantation he owned on the island of Antigua and on farms he owned in Massachusetts.”
