Dalhousie apologizes for racist actions, views of university’s founder
The Report on Lord Dalhousie’s History on Slavery and Race, released to the university community Thursday, was compiled by a panel of experts established by the university president in 2016 to report on the founder’s “insidious” legacy.
The report dated August 2019 includes a letter from George Ramsay, or Lord Dalhousie, in which he describes black people as idle and pre-disposed for slavery.
