Column: Dartmouth must remove Leon Black’s name Modified: 2/23/2021 10:30:11 PM The last two weeks of January were not good for the Dartmouth College brand. The good news for the college is that the debacle in athletics pushed the more virulent headline off the front page. What was that headline about? It was about changing the name of the Black Family Visual Arts Center, a very public and broadly used space. That’s Leon Black, the billionaire CEO of Apollo Global Management and former Dartmouth trustee. The same Leon Black who maintained a long personal and business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender and alleged sex trafficker who died in August 2019 at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York while awaiting trial. A relationship that continued well after Epstein’s 2008 guilty plea in Florida for soliciting a teenage girl for prostitution, which Black was well aware of.
