This Day in History: , First African-American College Is Chartered.
April 29, 1854.
Ashmun Institute was
established in southern
Chester County, Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania legislature, the
institution was named after Jehudi Ashman.

who assisted in the preservation
of an African-American colony in
Africa that later became Liberia.

him was initially chartered to
provide theological, scientific and
classical training to African-Americans.
Under its first college
president, John Pym Carter,
Ashmun Institute opened on January 1, 1857.
It was renamed Lincoln University
in 1866 after the end of the U.S. Civil War

April 9, 1865.
Surrounded with no possibility of escape,
the Confederate General surrendered his troops to
Union General Ulysses S. Grant in Appomattox, VA.
Lee met Grant in full dress attire at 1 p.m.
in the parlor of the Wilmer McLean home.
His surrender ended the U.S. Civil War,
the bloodiest war in American history.
Having known each other from the Mexican War,
the two spoke briefly before Grant wrote out the terms.
As part of the terms, Lee's 28,000 starving troops,
who had been cut off from supplies, would be pardoned
and fed Union rations.
The solemn ceremony ended with Grant telling his officers,
"The war is over. The Rebels are our countrymen again."

Harvey Weinsteinâs Rape Conviction , Is Overturned.
New York's Court of Appeals
overturned the movie mogul's 2020 rape conviction by a vote of 4-3 on April 25.
According to the appeals court, trial judge James Burke "prejudiced Weinstein with 'egregious' improper rulings," AP reports. .
For example, he let women bring forth allegations against Weinstein that he wasn't charged with.
The action was an "abuse of judicial discretion," the appeals court said. .
Without question, this is appalling,
shameful, repulsive conduct that
could only diminish defendantâs
character before the jury, New York's Court of Appeals, via AP.
Although this conviction has been overturned, the 72-year-old will remain in prison due to a separate 2022 rape conviction in Los Angeles.
His lawyers have chosen to
appeal that conviction as well. .
Jennifer Bonjean, who helped free Bill Cosby from
prison, issued a statement about the development.

A jury was told in California that
he was convicted in another
state for rape ... turns out he
shouldnât have been convicted
and it wasnât a fair conviction⊠, Jennifer Bonjean, Harvey Weinstein's attorney, via AP.
It interfered with his
presumption of innocence in
a significant way in California, Jennifer Bonjean, Harvey Weinstein's attorney, via AP.
On April 25, prosecutors said that "the legal issues identified by the New York Court of Appeal are
not present in the Los Angeles County Case.".
The Manhattan district attorney's office
said they will "do everything in our power to
retry this case, and remain steadfast in our commitment to survivors of sexual assault."

protests at Google's offices in both
New York and Sunnyvale, California.
The protests were organized by the group
No Tech For Apartheid, who said that 30 workers
were fired following the initial sit-in. .
According to Jane Chung, a spokeswoman for
No Tech For Apartheid, Google has now fired
"over 20" more workers, âincluding non-participating
bystanders during last weekâs protests.â.
Googleâs aims are clear:
the corporation is attempting
to quash dissent, silence
its workers, and reassert
its power over them, Jane Chung, a spokeswoman for No Tech For Apartheid, via 'The Independent'.

Google has decided to
unceremoniously, and
without due process,
upend the livelihoods of
over 50 of its own workers, Jane Chung, a spokeswoman for No Tech For Apartheid, via 'The Independent'.
