Somehow it seems doubly effective for Yale to grant Pennington a degree even though he wasn't allowed to say he was a Yale student!

Grant the degree and continue the momentum. Every step toward reparative equity is a victory and a cause for celebration and further work!

Pretty cut and dry--he did the work, but the government decided he didn't deserve the degree, because he was black.

This is not about setting a precedent for posthumous degrees. This is about correcting a terrible wrong.

I totally support the awarding of James W.C. Pennington an Honorary Doctorate Degree from Yale University, by virtue of the trail-blazing legacy he established.
