Georgetown University and slavery

Available for over a year

We hear the conversation around Georgetown University's decision to give admissions preference to the descendants of 272 slaves the university sold in 1838 to provide operating revenue for the school. Also, after comedian Amy Schumer shut down a sexist heckler during a stand-up show in Stockholm we hear from female comedians about their experiences on stage and online.
