Georgetown University has agreed to rename two buildings that honor past presidents with ties to slavery, following protests against racial injustice on campus. Mulledy Hall and McSherry Hall are both named for former Georgetown presidents who facilitated the sale of slaves to help pay down the school’s debt in the 1830s. Georgetown is among the schools nationwide where students have rallied against campus racism.
