In this episode of Talking History's segment, Verene's Views on May 16, 2020, Verene responds to the news that New Jersey based Ivy League Princeton University recognizes it's first Black Valedictorian in its 274 years of existence. Nicholas Johnson, who was named valedictorian of Princeton's Class of 2020, called the achievement especially significant, given the school's struggle in recent years to confront its troubled history with slavery.
