Soon after Ibram Kendi launched the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University in 2020, administrators approved a $600,000 mortgage to a professor, a loan given to a trust controlled by Kendi’s brother-in-law, according to a new report in the Washington Free Beacon.
Campus officials refused to tell the Beacon who the beneficiary of the loan was, but the article points out whichever unnamed professor benefitted, the money was “doled out to a trust controlled by Ibram X. Kendi’s brother-in-law, Macharia Edmonds.”
“The mortgage helped to cover the down payment for a $4.56 million luxury penthouse triplex,” the outlet reported Oct. 6 in an article headlined “Boston University Loaned $600K to a Mysterious Trust Run by Ibram Kendi’s Brother-In-Law.”
