And Yale University has announced it will not rename the residential dorm Calhoun College, named after former Vice President John C. Calhoun, one of the most prominent pro-slavery figures in history. This comes despite a recent wave of student protests demanding the name be changed. Yale said it will name one of the two new residential dorms after African-American alumnus and legal scholar Anna Pauline Murray. It will be the first time a Yale dorm bears the name of either an African American or a woman.
