Honesty helps us face history

Georgetown is well known for the opportunities it has provided to African Americans, especially through the legacy of legendary basketball coach John Thompson. Yet the Jesuits who run the school once bought and sold human beings. In fact, in 1838, they sold 272 people to pay off the university’s debts.
When confronted with this kind of information, one has several choices. For far too long we have minimized, ignored or revised history to avoid uncomfortable facts. We can choose to speak the truth, however.
In 2015, the current president of Georgetown, John DeGioia, created a group to study the university’s history with slavery. No stone was left unturned and almost 8,000 descendants of these 272 people were found. In consultation with members of this group, the Jesuits have pledged $100 million through the Descendants Truth and Reconciliation Foundation. Their hope is “to advance the transformative power of truth and reconciliation in America.”

The Jesuit order is pledging to raise US$100 million for descendants of enslaved people once owned and sold by their order as a way to make reparations and also help the nation move toward racial healing.
The funds will be placed in a new partnership called Descendants Truth and Reconciliation Foundation formed by the Jesuit order and the GU272 Descendants Association -- named after the 272 enslaved men, women and children who were sold by the Jesuit owners of Georgetown University to plantation owners in Louisiana in 1838.
