Tulane removes 'Victory Bell' after learning of its history
In a letter emailed to the Tulane community, President Mike Fitts and Board Chairman Doug Hertz said they were informed last week that the “Victory Bell” was originally used to direct the movements of enslaved people on a plantation, The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate reported.
