Wheaton College's public denunciation of former President J. Oliver Buswell, Jr.

Excerpt: 
Who, specifically, was “perpetuating racism” at Wheaton?

J. Oliver Buswell, Jr.

Wheaton’s library is named “Buswell Library,” and thus the headline, “Historical Race Review announces library name change.” From the task force document:

The Trustees will instruct the administration to remove President James Oliver Buswell, Jr’s name from the Wheaton College Library.

And:

As a public acknowledgment of our collective grief and institutional repentance over the rejection of Black applicants, we will remove “Buswell” from signs and other public descriptions where it is used as the present name of Wheaton’s Library.
