Protesters Demand Reparations For Slave History And Handling Of Human Remains At UGA

The University of Georgia continues to grapple with a difficult
chapter of its history. It’s been under fire for how it handled the
discovery of human remains under a school building during
renovations. They appear to belong to people who were enslaved. The
growing tension recently erupted in protests. Demonstrators want
reparations for descendants of slaves who built the university,
including financial support for university staff and students as
well as acknowledgment of the school’s history publicly and within
the classroom. GPB reporter Grant Blankenship went to Athens to
witness the protests , and he talks with On Second Thought about
what he found.
