What. in. the. F. are they spending their money on????????????????????? They sure fought to not pay a deserved settlement and are now refusing to hand over artwork stolen from people who were incinerated????? I am SURE if it were an artifact from slavery, Oberlin College would RIOT, BURN AND DESTROY EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING to get it back. Of course, you can’t expect liberals to act human, civilized and in non savage ways.

“The college experienced financial difficulties in its early years. Shipherd went on several fundraising tours out East, while trustees John Keep and William Dawes journeyed to Britain to generate financial support. Keep and Dawes lectured about Oberlin in private homes, meeting houses, and church halls, raising funds primarily from the abolitionist community. After 18 months, they returned with $30,000 in gold, the equivalent of 640 million dollars in today’s terms.

Those donations saved Oberlin.”
