AN AMAZING INTERVIEW WITH American History Professor Craig Steven Wilder. At 12:48 in the video, he touches on the "slave sourcing" for anatomy class props and body parts. This is the foundation for the child trafficking / human organ trafficking we see today.

Shackles and Ivy: The Secret History of How Slavery Helped Build America's Elite Colleges

"A new book 10 years in the making examines at how many major U.S. universities -- Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown, Dartmouth Rutgers, Williams, and the University of North Carolina among others -- are drenched in the sweat, and sometimes the blood, of Africans brought to the United States as slaves. In "Ebony & Ivy: Race, Slavery and the Troubled History of America's Universities," Massachusetts Institute of Technology American History Professor Craig Steven Wilder reveals how the slave economy and higher education grew up together. "When you think about the colonial world, until the American Revolution, there is only one college in the south, William & Mary ... The other eight colleges were all northern schools and they're actually located in key sites, for the most part, of the merchant economy where the slave traders had come to power and rose as the financial and intellectual backers of new culture of the colonies," Wilder says." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs7hfwDzwYM

They were all chartered under the British Crown

that charter still holds according to

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dartmouth_College_v._Woodward

The Court ruled that the College's corporate charter qualified as a contract between private parties, the King and the trustees, with which the legislature could not interfere. Even though the United States were no longer royal colonies, the contract was still valid because the Constitution said that a state could not pass laws to impair a contract. The fact that the government had commissioned the charter did not transform the school into a civil institution. Chief Justice Marshall's opinion emphasized that the term "contract" referred to transactions involving individual property rights, not to "the political relations between the government and its citizens."

TLDR: the Ivy League Schools are literal agents of the British Crown

The reason the southerners didn't establish colleges until much later, was that the plantations (rice, indigo) were located in one of the most unhealthy climates in North America. This was because the "lowlands" coastal swamps were used to grow rice. The mosquitos became vectors for yellow fever and the constant importation of slaves imported other diseases. The average life span for a wealthy plantation owner was about 40. However, running these industrial size plantations produced incomes of staggering proportions. The plantation owners were wealthy enough to send their sons back to England for prep-school and college, usually Cambridge. They also had money to travel to the North (usually Philadelphia) during the worst months for disease outbreaks. It was these British American planters from the South that became the SLAVE BASED economic engine for ALL the colonies.

What American city and region lost Olympics bid to Rio?

In April 2009, the Chicago 2016 bid committee was the first of the four finalists to host the 13-member IOC Evaluation Commission.[125] They presented twenty films to the committee.[126] Among the video spokespersons were Hillary Clinton (raised in suburban Chicago) and Michael Jordan.[125]

On October 2, 2009, Chicago was knocked out in the first round of voting, and the Olympics went to Rio de Janeiro, despite some high-profile backers, such as US President Barack Obama and Chicago-based television hostess Oprah Winfrey, going to Copenhagen to support the bid.

Early cost estimates hovered at $5 billion, with $1.1 billion for the lakeside Olympic Village and an additional estimated $366 million for a temporary 80,000 seat Olympic Stadium to be built in Washington Park.[56] Nonetheless, the proposed budget was small in comparison to the Beijing Olympics, which are estimated to have cost $40 billion.[57] Further, the 2004 Olympic games in Athens, initially budgeted to cost $2.4 billion, in fact cost $9 billion.[58] On April 11, 2007, former Governor of Illinois Rod Blagojevich proposed $150 million in state funding to help secure the bid to the USOC for Chicago. Current Governor Pat Quinn stated that he would be willing to support any funding necessary to secure the Olympics for Chicago.[59] By April 14, over $35 million in cash and $13 million in goods had been pledged, including donations in excess of $100,000 from at least 225 individuals and corporations.[60] Chicago had strong allies to pursue federal funds for security and transportation: U.S. Senator Dick Durbin was the second in command among Democratic Senators as the Whip, and former Senator Barack Obama had become the President of the United States. The city announced a $500 million insurance policy against cost overruns and revenue shortfalls.[61]
