...committee issued a report in January of 1969, usually referred to as the Rosovsky report. The report had good and bad points. On its bad side, the separation between African and Afro-American studies was blatant. The report also favored a committee to oversee an undergraduate degree program, though it offered no reason why a department would be unsatisfactory. Many departments have been born out of less student interest and just as limited faculty resources. A final criticism of the report was that it glorified Harvard's history of African studies, maintaining that "African studies has had the advantage...
...political exploitation and social humiliation were abolished, we were still slaves, still eliminated from the America that called itself free. For Black people to enjoy full citizenship in America, this country had to abandon one of its most traditional licenses; it had to turn from one of its most blatant and continuing sins--the historic policy of neglecting the very principles on which it was founded...

Besides relying on the intentionally vague but emotionally arousing word "regime," this statement clarifies neither the living conditions of South Korean citizens nor the nature of their protests against the government. The letter then refers to "Harvard's long history as a bulwark of U.S. imperialism," another blatant example of verbal deceit. Such a comment makes no relevant point about either Harvard or American history, and it has no function other than to incite the uninformed passions that the League seeks to exploit...
