Mélisande Short-Colomb |
TEDxGeorgetown
• October 2017
Mélisande is a descendant of the 272 slaves that Georgetown University sold in the 19th century to pay off its debts. Mélisande tells her family history, recounts her childhood, and discusses why she thinks Georgetown's new legacy program, through which she has become a 63-year-old freshman, is important.
