Cambridge is in a dispute with academics after an exhibition linked Stephan Hawking with the slave trade
Cambridge University faces criticism over a Fitzwilliam Museum exhibition claiming Stephen Hawking and others, including George Darwin, benefited indirectly from the university's historical links to slavery. Academics are demanding the claims be withdrawn, arguing they unfairly tarnish reputations despite the university's past financial involvement in the slave trade being documented in a 2022 enquiry.
