New Haven considers a public apology for rejecting the nation's first Black college in 1831.
New Haven, Connecticut, is contemplating a public apology for its 1831 rejection of a proposal to establish the nation's first Black college, the College of Black Youth.
The proposal was defeated 700-4 by White residents, who cited concerns over Yale's reputation and the Southern slavery influence.
This decision led to violence against Black citizens and White abolitionists.
A 2021 documentary has renewed interest in this historical event, prompting calls for educational initiatives.
