    The focus is Harvard and slavery

    A new exhibit at Harvard’s Pusey Library, “Bound by History: Harvard, Slavery, and Archives,” contains much of what researchers have uncovered so far related to Harvard’s ties to slavery. But experts say there is much more to be found.

    On display as part of an upcoming exhibit on slavery, this Allan Rohan Crite watercolor depicts the Dana-Palmer House, home of Harvard College and Law School graduate Richard Henry Dana Jr.. who helped found the anti-slavery Free Soil Party and later defended fugitive slaves in court.
