It was hailed as a “remarkable discovery” by President Barack Obama’s friend Professor Henry Louis Gates. Hidden in a dusty trunk in an abandoned and looted Englewood home, the papers of Harvard’s first black graduate, Richard T. Greener, had long been thought lost to history.
University archivist Elizabeth West said South Carolina’s purchase of the two “priceless” Greener documents filled an important hole in the school’s history. For decades, white racists tried to wipe out any trace of the short-lived reconstruction-era integration at the university, going so far as to cut pages out of books that referred to black students and faculty such as Greener, she said.

Somehow I get the feeling that this Greener spook wasn't all that different from this nigger that's threatening to roast his "history";
He survived an 1876 assassination attempt, worked as a philosophy professor, served as a U.S. diplomat in Russia and lived out his sad, final days in Hyde Park while his children changed their names and passed as white in New York high society.
