The founding of Yale University and its 30 billion dollar endowment is named after the racist slave-trading overseer named Elihu Yale. Even until 2016 they had a racist window depicting Yale being served by a shackled slave.

As if the racist underpinnings of this extremely rich university weren't enough, black students comprise only 7% of the body while making up 13% of the populace.

We have many woke allies in this fight that we can prod to lend their weight to renaming their alma mater so they no longer have to live in shame, Anderson Cooper, Claire Danes, Paul Krugman, Cory Booker, and many many more.

Take the endowment and use it for reparations.

They only have about 13000 students and many of them pay the school, why do they need 30 billion dollars when descendants o slaves are dying in the streets?

I honestly would not be surprised if this happened in the next five years.
