Descendants of Slaves Sold by Georgetown U Demand $1 Billion Foundation

A group of descendants of slaves sold by Georgetown University in
1838 was unsatisfied with the unprecedented steps the college took to
accommodate them, and demanded partnership in a $1 billion foundation
vaguely aimed at producing "reconciliation."
In 1838, amid dire financial trouble, Georgetown University sold off 272 slaves for $115,000 (over $3 million in today's dollars). Last week, the university's president, John DeGioia, announced Georgetown would offer special admissions preference for any of the descendants of those slaves, and he promised to build an on-campus memorial to the slaves and renamed a building after one of them. He also promised a public apology for the university's role in the slave trade.
And he promised to look into establishing scholarships named for the people who were enslaved, and said school officials would continue to meet with descendants in their homes to discuss future steps.
"It goes farther than just about any institution," Craig Steven Wilder, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, told The New York Times. "I think it's to Georgetown's credit. It's taking steps that a lot of universities have been reluctant to take." You might think this would be enough.
If so, you'd be entirely wrong.
