Among all the US universities now *atoning for their roles in American slavery, Georgetown University is going one step beyond. The school was *bailed out by the sale of 272 slaves owned by the Maryland Province of Jesuits in 1838. It made enough money from the sale to keep the doors open, as well as give the small institution the chance to become one of the most *prestigious universities in the country. All made possible by the then-*lucrative market of human *bondage.
