Finally, justice was served.
It will shake.
Last November, I cover The story of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
This is a story that dates back nearly 150 years.
In 1887, Thomas Chamberlin Become president Or UW-M.
He held that position for five years.
Thomas was a geologist in Wisconsin from 1873 to 1882.
In 1925, a huge boulder-the official name is Chamberlain Rock-was decorated with a plaque to commemorate him.
This inscription:
As a national geologist, [Thomas] A survey of high scientific and economic value was carried out.
As the principal, he makes the spirit of research work in the organization and life of the university.
He first distinguished and named the drifts that remained in the area due to continuous ice advancement. This boulder was brought by a continental glacier from Canada’s ancient Precambrian bedrock and deposited in Wisconsin or the recent glacier drift. This mountain is part of it.
However, the 1920s were very different from their counterparts in the last century.
In a newspaper article at the time, this rock was called “n-head”-a kind of Common expressions The era of any large black rock.
This absolutely terrible word fell out of favor in the 1950s, and everything is fine in the rock memorial world.
Until recently, students from UW-M unearthed a 1925 incendiary clipping.
Every Wisconsin Magazine, “University historians identified this news story as the only known offensive instance [reference] is using. “
But there are too many people, so the school leader said that racist rock must go.
Good luck next time, Mr. Chamberlain.
From mine Previous writing:
Thomas… was born in 1843.
This is an unusual lesson: if you have a monument named after you; if someone calls it terrible three years before you die; then it may be condemned as a symbol of sin after 177 years of your birth .
The mining cost is estimated to be 30,000-75,000 US dollars.
Three options have been considered: move the rock somewhere outside the campus, bury it in its original location, or break it down and dispose of it.
Well, a decision was made and the conscience of the campus lightened the burden this week.
According to Louisville NBC3, Virtue prevails.
On Friday morning, a large crane lifted the huge naturally formed solid block and rolled the stone away.
Racism, you have been deleted:

“Now is the time for all of our BIPOC students to breathe a sigh of relief, be proud of our endurance, and begin to recover,” said @d8alder.

thanks To the Campus Planning Committee, the Wisconsin Black Student Union, and Winksik —A school’s “indigenous identity” group — the students finally got rid of the burden of stubborn boulders.
On Thursday, the University of Wisconsin-Madison issued a statement:
“[R]Moving this rock to a prominent location as a monument can prevent further harm to our community while preserving the educational and research value of the rock for current and future scholars. “
The collection of minerals/mineral substances will now be live On the land owned by the university near Kegonsa Lake-this is obviously different and very morally superior.
The rejected rock is Believe More than 2 billion years.
Of course, awakening is eternal.
How to use the newly vacant space?
Daily Cardinal I talked about it a few months ago:
[President Nalah McWorter] Say… The black student will consider how students of color can use the space of the Observatory Hill to reflect the idea of a more positive environment.
All this is good, but there are more problems to be solved.
In fact, activists should not only see the trees but not the forest:
I asked them to cut down all the trees that witnessed the behavior of this rock! https://t.co/7isCvehyef
