if they used the warp instead of the ships
Glad to hear that this was announced yesterday. Glasgow Uni will be investing £20m in establishing research centres in collaboration with the University of the West Indies.
It’s considered to be the first university in the UK to do so.
While Glasgow uni says that the uni never owned slaves, research by a Glasgow uni academic was published recently which gives evidence the university received significant donations from those who profited from the Slave Trade.
It’s currently a small sum, but it’s a start. I hope other universities around Scotland, and the UK follow suit. It could have quite a positive impact.
We need more of this. A lot more.
Police are on the lookout for two antifascist activists who disrupted a
peaceful Alt Right rally in Illinois. They were last seen 106 miles from
Chicago, they had half a tank of gas, a pack of cigarettes, it was
dark, and they were wearing sunglasses.
Went to the Aboriginal artifact exhibit in Chicago. And it’s interesting. How many blankets and masks and totem poles say ‘unknown source’, because every five seconds my mom would stop and point to something and say. “Pauline’s grandmother made that,” or, “That belongs to Mike’s family, I should call him” because. It’s all stolen
“These artifacts were excavated by archaeologists from a burial site in the 1970’s. The remains were returned for reinterment” Okay cool, cool cool. So you just, like. Dug up the grave of a respected family member, stripped them naked, mailed their body back to their family and kept everything they were lovingly put to rest in. Like a graverobbing bastard
Reminds me of the time when of the elders from my hometown started touching a totem pole in the Museum of Anthropology out at UBC and got yelled at by the staff, only to tell him that the pole had been stolen off of the front of her bighouse when she was ten years old.
Museum collectors did the equivalent of kidnapping a family member when they were away fishing.
So just say “Christian” then FFS
They really didn’t want to put “Children raised without Christianity kinder” in a title, huh
