The original wavy walls were built in the 1820s and eventually removed to create more space around the university's historical pavilions, according to a statement from the school's athletics department. New walls were constructed in the 1950s.
.

The offending walls were already removed, there should be no issue here. The new walls are pre desegregation, so there is some oppression still present, but not block slavery from the sight line of whites oppression. Need to scale back the outrage accordingly.

Do they not realize the campus buildings were designed by Thomas Jefferson?


They are aware and some people already want to remove all vestiges of TJ from the college
