This is an absolute travesty. Northwestern has, probably, the 2nd best library collection for African History/Studies in the USA (behind Yale and ahead of MSU, UCLA, etc). A self-inflicted wound that is absolutely, 100% unnecessary given the massive wealth of Northwestern--north of $15 billion.

My NYC-based sister-in-law is a big WNBA fan. And my nephew (age 8), goes with her to a lot of games. Yesterday, he was sharing a ton of info, facts, & thoughts on the NY Liberty with me, as if it were perfectly normal to be taking women's sports very seriously. Because to him it is. Beautiful.
