Scarlet and Black, Volume Three
Making Black Lives Matter at Rutgers, 1945-2020
Scarlet and Black (3 volume set)

Like most early American colleges, Rutgers depended on slaves to build its campuses and serve its students and faculty; it depended on the sale of black people to fund its very existence.
