One Harvard Law School professor wanted to keep Harvard Law School's shield even though it's tied to a slave owner, Isaac Royall Jr. Annette Gordon-Reed wanted to keep the shield and rededicate the law school and the shield to those people who were enslaved. Gordon-Reed was outvoted and the committee ultimately voted to retire the shield from the law school in March.

In October 2015, Harvard Law School students demanded the removal of the law school's shield because of its ties to a slave owner - Isaac Royall Jr. - who is also credited with helping form the Harvard Law School. Annette Gordon-Reed, law school professor and Thomas Jefferson historian, was one of the only people on a 12-person committee who wanted to keep the school's shield. That committee ultimately voted to retire the shield from the law school in March.
We talked to Gordon-Reed about why she thought the school should've kept the shield and why she believes many people weren't receptive to her suggestion.
