Yale University has dropped charges against an employee who broke a stained-glass window depicting enslaved Africans carrying cotton. Corey Menafee worked for Yale University for about eight years. In June, as he was cleaning a dining room, Menafee stood on top of a table and broke the window with a broom handle. Menafee said the image is racist and degrading and that he had become sick of seeing it every day. Yale University police arrested Menafee and charged him with reckless endangerment and felony mischief. The window was in a building that had already generated controversy. Calhoun College is named after former Vice President John C. Calhoun, one of the most prominent pro-slavery figures in history. For years students have demanded Yale change the building’s name. The administration decided against a name change in April. We’ll have more on the case of Corey Menafee tomorrow on Democracy Now!
