A black Yale University dishwasher has resigned after he smashed a stained-glass window that depicted slaves picking cotton. The June 13 incident came after a months-long debate over the name of Calhoun College. In April, however, the university announced that it would keep the Calhoun College name. “Calhoun College represents an indifference to centuries of pain and suffering among the black population,” according to a petition from students and alumni. “Everybody has something to say about them,” an unnamed employee told the newspaper, adding that Menafee was “the one who took action.”“I didn’t commit any acts of violence against anyone or any living thing,” Menafee told the newspaper.
