Commentary Harvard Law School (HLS) has changed its law school heraldry. Members of the HLS Community were recently informed of the adoption of a new shield by John Manning, who is the Morgan and Helen Chu Dean and Professor of Law at Harvard. He stated that, “the simple, elegant, and beautiful design of the new…
Harvard Law School Cancels Coat-of-Arms Over Slavery
Canada’s Slave Trade
Commentary Slavery? In Canada? How could it be? A little booklet called “Slavery and Freedom in Niagara,” by author Michael Power of Welland, Ontario, landed on my desk, and got me going on this subject. In school we learn only that Canada-the-good served as a kind of Holy Land for persecuted slaves who escaped from…
Tougher Prison Sentences Introduced for Trafficking and Slavery in the UK
Gang leaders involved in trafficking people face prison sentences on a par with rape and murder, under new UK sentencing guidelines that will start in October. The guidance—the first to cover the relatively new category of modern slavery offences—recommends a “starting point” of 14 years in jail for trafficking bosses. Sentences can reach a maximum…
American Treasures: ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’
You may know the story. President Lincoln, frustrated in his effort to end slavery while preserving the Union, stooped wearily from his great height to shake the lady’s proffered hand. “So you’re the little woman,” he said, “who wrote the book that made this great war.” The book was “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Harriet Beecher Stowe…
Frederick Douglass Versus the 1619 Project
Commentary How amusing it is to see the advocates of critical race theory (CRT) and the 1619 Project vehemently deny that their philosophy is even being taught in elementary and secondary schools. Most recently, teachers’ union president Randi Weingarten insisted that CRT is merely a subject of discussion in law schools and the legal community,…
[Premiering 6PM ET] Racism Is Not Systemic in America | Real Talk

Nike Chooses China Profits Over Uyghur Slaves
Commentary Nike’s president and CEO, John J. Donahoe, recently declared his company’s unequivocal fealty to the Chinese tyranny. During the “4th Quarter Earnings Call” to discuss the company’s profit projections, Donahoe bragged that Nike “is a brand of China and for China.” Ponder the blatant hypocrisy of that disgraceful statement. In America, Nike prides itself…
Democrats Need a Day of Atonement
Commentary With the creation of June 19th (“Juneteenth”) as a federal holiday, Democrats have one more claim to be the party of civil rights and equal opportunity for African Americans, though most Republicans also voted for the holiday. That claim has been promoted for decades by a compliant media, academia, and high-profile politicians, but the facts say…
The Untold History of Juneteenth
Commentary Proponents of critical race theory are peddling the falsehood that America’s history is rife with inherent racism, all the way back to the first settlers’ arrival on our shores.
