University of Maryland publishes first report on school’s connections to slavery 🤦‍♂️

Slavery, UMD launched The 1856 Project last year, named for the founding year of the university, then called the Maryland Agricultural College. Along with Calvert, who was a descendant of Lord Baltimore George Calvert, several of the college’s 600 initial financers were slaveholders or had ties to the slave economy.

The Maryland Agricultural College was created to teach farmers new farm management and technology practices, according to the university. The school was established on the Piscataway tribe’s ancestral land, purchased from a slaveholding farmer who was an advocate for agricultural education.

Among the first shareholders of the university were to***co farmers and plantation owners who relied on slave labor. William Tilghman Goldsborough and Alexander Keech, two of the earliest members of the university’s board of trustees, enslaved 55 and 20 people, respectively. Keech, a teacher, owned land that would become Lakeland, a historically Black community in Prince George’s County, that borders College Park.
Dr. William Mercer, one of the largest investors and an honorary trustee, invested $5,000, the equivalent of more than $150,000 in 2023, according to the report. Mercer, of Cecil County, was a surgeon who owned four plantations in Louisiana and enslaved at least 140 people.

“It is a sin and a shame”: Exposing Racism in the U.S. Tax Code

Through arduous study and research, Georgetown Law Professor Dorothy Brown uncovered a long list of ways that tax law and many other systems that impact wealth generation tend to favor white Americans, and disadvantage Black Americans. Brown was appointed to the Treasury advisory committee on racial equity under Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, where Brown and her committee co-members have made recommendations on how to address racial equity matters. Despite their recommendations, “Treasury doesn’t see racial equity as something that they should be focusing on,” says Brown. “The White House needs to step up and say ‘we meant it.'"
