Reporters from The Daily Caller News Foundation hit the streets in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday to ask people what they thought of Georgetown University building a dorm right near potential slave remains.
The responses varied, with one Georgetown student suggesting an entire floor of the dorm should be “African American-based.” Another person said the university should get rid of the dorm altogether.
“They haven’t done enough at all. It’s been three years — they still haven’t done anything. There’s nothing — there’s no markers,” a Georgetown student told TheDCNF.
The majority of folks agreed that there wasn’t a clear answer to the messy situation. The consensus was that there should be a memorial dedicated to the slaves who were sold to save the academic institution.
The story originated when a femur — believed to have belonged to a slave — was found during construction of a campus dorm in 2014. The university received scrutiny for keeping quiet about it, according to TheDCNF.
