While the report “uncovers Harvard’s complicity with slavery and its legacies,” it “also recognizes as a part of the University’s history enslaved people of African and Native descent whose contributions have been overlooked” and seeks to amplify stories of “Black resilience, agency, and achievement in the face of persistent discrimination.” In this panel discussion, Black Radcliffe and Harvard alumni from different generations will explore and celebrate stories of resistance, excellence, resilience, and change-making from while they were students and after graduation.
This program is presented as part of the Presidential Initiative on Harvard and the Legacy of Slavery, a University-wide effort anchored at Harvard Radcliffe Institute.
