A boy left his bike chained to a tree when he went away to war in 1914. He never returned, leaving the tree no choice but to grow around the bike.

Richard Theodore Greener (1844-1922) was the first Black graduate of Harvard University (Class of 1870). His papers, including his Harvard diploma, his law license, photos and papers connected to his diplomatic role in Russia and his friendship with President Ulysses S. Grant, were recently discovered in an attic on the South Side of Chicago - just before the house was demolished. Absolutely MONUMENTAL!

It is an awesome discovery — but how fucked up is it that these artifacts, which belong in the motherfucking Smithsonian, were lying forgotten in an attic collecting dust and *this close* to fading into oblivion? There’s been some much-deserved discussion lately about mainstream US society’s devaluation of Black scholarship, and this story strikes me as a potent example. This guy was wayyy ahead of the curve, and most of us are just learning about him now because of this fortuitous windfall. You know, during my burst of anti-racist polemical writing some years ago, I was pretty pleased with the line “The great problem of the 21st century is The Whiteness Problem.” Turns out, Richard Theodore Greener wrote an essay entitled “The White Problem” — in 1894! Damn, was I ever late to that party. Anyway, one of my takeaways here is yet another stinging affirmation that we can’t even begin to imagine the wealth of stories, scholarship, art, science, discovery, and other human endeavor undertaken by people of color, especially women of color, even in recent history, because all too often, those histories are buried and forgotten — even those of a Harvard graduate who served on the executive administration of a famous US president.
