Georgetown University and Jesuits have given $27 million to a foundation benefiting descendants of enslaved people who were sold to pay off a debt at the school in the nineteenth century.
In 1838, Maryland Jesuits sold 272 people who worked on their plantations, breaking apart families and using the profit to benefit the university. The GU272 Descendants Association represents thousands of people; there are about 13,000 known descendants now, and the number keeps growing.
announced Wednesday, which brings the total funding of the Descendants Truth & Reconciliation Trust to $42 million, includes $10 million in new funds from Georgetown and $17 million from the Jesuits. Those gifts are in addition to a $1 million implementation grant from Georgetown and a $15 million one from the Jesuits when the foundation was created in 2021.
