8. Dartmouth College
Dartmouth College’s early history is marked by financial and personal connections to slavery. Key trustees and donors in its formative years were involved in the slave economy or were themselves slaveholders, contributing funds that helped establish the college. Today, Dartmouth is actively investigating these historic ties, launching research projects and open discussions to better understand its legacy.
