Harvard University touted two-time failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams as a “political mastermind” in a description for a new seminar exploring the history of how race and gender impacted American laws.
The Democrats name is also embarrassingly misspelled as “Stacy” in the description for the fall 2025 class, titled “Race, Gender, and the Law Through the Archive” which dives into “the role that Black women and non-binary people have played in shaping politics, grassroots organizing, the legal bar, and higher education during Jim (Jane) Crow and beyond.”
Abrams lost back-to-back bids to run for Governor of Georgia in 2018 and 2022 to Republican Brian Kemp and has never held a seat in federal office – but the Ivy League course names her as among the leading black female figures of 21st century politics.
“From First Lady Michelle Obama to political mastermind Stacy Abrams [sic] to Vice President Kamala Harris, Black women have left their stamp on 21st-century politics and grassroots organizing,” the description of the course, taught by radical professor and historian Myisha Eatmon, reads.
Eatmon once declared that “white privilege is a drug” in an X post in November 2020, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
Eatmon has now made her X account private.
After losing the 2018 election by a slim margin, Adams repeatedly claimed that the election was stolen and rigged against her — however later walked back on those statements when she was called out for being an election denier as she launched her second attempt at the office, according to the Washington Post.
“Race, Gender, and the Law Through the Archive,” through the lens of several prominent lawyers, philosophers and writers from the Civil Rights Movement, explores how race, gender and sexuality affected political ideologies.
The description for the 4-credit course notes that many scholars have determined that “law is subjective.”
