Images Of Black Harvard Professors Defaced
[su_center_b]
The photo of every black professor on a wall featuring all who taught at Harvard Law was covered with masking tape.
When students and faculty walked by those photos this morning, they that tape had been placed on each photo of a black professor, obscuring their faces.
There are clear and striking images of the incident in an article on Blavity, written and photographed by Michele Hall, a second-year student at the law school. She writes:
The portraits of black professors, the ones that bring me and so many other black students feelings of pride and promise, were defaced. Their faces were covered with a single piece of black tape, crossing them out of Harvard Law School’s legacy of legal scholarship. Their faces were slashed through, X-ing them out, marking them as maybe unwanted or maybe unworthy or maybe simply too antithetical to the legacy of white supremacy on which Harvard Law School has been built.
