ATLANTA — Emory University officials are expressing regret for the campus' role in slavery in Georgia. The Atlanta university's Board of Trustees has adopted a formal statement acknowledging the campus' involvement with slavery after its founding in 1836 in Oxford. Officials say Emory founders used slaves to build and support the college in its early days.
