As president of the University of King’s College, I acknowledge with humility the harm caused by our institution’s historical connections with slavery, anti-black racism and racial inequity. I recognize that King’s has benefited from the enslavement of black people and contributed to systems that dehumanize black people and have excluded African-Nova Scotians and black communities from full participation and belonging. In higher education and the opportunities higher education makes possible. For this, we are deeply sorry.
