The University of California, Berkeley, is considering a proposal to un-name a building that honors Alfred L. Kroeber (1876-1960), one of the leading liberal anthropologists in the United States. Tony Platt describes the controversy and explains why it is time to come to terms with Berkeley's "salvage archaeology" that deepened the misery of survivors of genocide by plundering the graves of 10,000 ancestors on Kroeber's watch
