Brown University

Brown's landmark 2006 report documented that its founders and benefactors profited from the transatlantic slave trade.

The Brown family and other early benefactors of the college participated in and profited from slaving voyages. Brown's 2006 "Slavery and Justice" report was among the first institutional reckonings of its kind and reshaped how universities confront their histories.
