University denies activist claims that it has ‘ties to slavery’
Claiming that the University of Chicago is founded on free slave labor, student groups there recently held a “teach-in” arguing that the university owes some of its black students slavery reparations.
The event continued to advance pressure on the prestigious private school to offer such restitution, lobbying that included a “Rally for Reparations” late last year, which included calls for “reparations” for African American community members in the South Side of Chicago, where the university is located.
At the late February teach-in, the groups Reparations at UChicago, the UChicago Socialists and UofC Resists, the organizers of the event, were joined by representatives from a graduate student union and a local Black Lives Matter chapter, as reported by The Chicago Maroon.

How about this for reparations: the government gives any person of African origin a plane or boat ticket back to their ancestral homeland and a small amount of money for 6 months food, clothing and shelter. But in return, they agree never to come back.
If they hate being here that much and feel disenfranchised, they should line up to go back - right???
This sh*t has got to stop! It happened 150 years ago for God sake.
That is racist since the people living now had nothing to do with slavery. The only ones being held in slavery today is the White race. We have to accept the lesser of things while the Blacks are constantly given preference over qualifications.
Baloney!
If it's so bad you need reparations,close it,tear it down,(like Confederate statues),and move on.
OMG will these people EVER stop living in the past and FIGURE out how to make THEIR own way instead of expecting everyone else to PAY their way!
Were there slaves in Chicago?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Give me a break you dumb lazy morons!
Keep on demanding. The kitty is empty!
They might as well make Chicago a reservation for black people and illegal immigrants. Let them have it.
If they were slaves give them money. I highly doubt a single one nor their parents or even grandparents were slaves.
