Harvard wants to forget slavery.

It would also probably prefer if you forgot that Harvard invented napalm, which burnt more civilians to death than the atom bomb killed during WW2, plus another 200k women, children, and elderly people in N. Vietnam and Cambodia.
"Harvard University has laid off its staff in the Harvard Slavery Remembrance Program, the unit of its $100 million Harvard & the Legacy of Slavery initiative tasked with identifying the direct descendants of those enslaved by Harvard affiliates."

This includes several cyber committees, like CISA's advisory panel and the Cyber Safety Review Board, which was investigating Salt Typhoon.
