Harvard Club of Georgia

Panel on Harvard & the Legacy of Slavery

Panel and workshop Focusing on Recent Report from the Board of Governors

Date: June 6  Kendeda Building, Georgia Tech  6 - 9pm

The Harvard Club of Georgia and the Harvard Black Alumni Society, Atlanta Chapter are presenting a panel on the recent report on Harvard & the Legacy of Slavery. In 2022, Harvard University published a remarkable report on the historical involvement of the university with the institution of slavery: “Harvard & the Legacy of Slavery.”  You can see a video overview of the report here. The report summarizes Harvard’s engagement with slavery from the University’s beginnings.  It also describes resistance to slavery within the university.  And it makes recommendations for what the Harvard community should do to redress its historical involvement.  

Harvard Club of Georgia is preparing a panel discussion of the report for Harvard alumni of Georgia as well as others in the Atlanta community who may be interested, on June 6th, 6 - 9pm, at the Kendeda Building on the Georgia Tech campus.

Panelists will briefly review aspects of the report and the audience will be invited to respond.      

Wine and appetizers will be available from 6 - 7.
