This is the family that owns Perdue Pharma, the Sackler family, who got fined $8B today for the opioid epidemic in America. Along with opioid factories Parr and Indo pharma in Ireland,Activavis, Israel basen Teva Pharma. and Malinkrodt in Hobart, NY, this family controls the opioid trade in America. Look what else they control.
The Sackler family has made a name as philanthropists and supported major cultural institutions, including the Jewish Museum (Manhattan); Metropolitan Museum of Art; the American Museum of Natural History; the Guggenheim; the Smithsonian; the Tate Gallery; the National Gallery; the Natural History Museum, London; the Victoria and Albert Museum; the Royal Botanic Gardens,Kew; the British Museum; Shakespeare's Globe; the Serpentine Galleries; and the Louvre.[24][25]'
The family also supported universities, including Harvard University, the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, Columbia University, Tufts University, New York University, the Royal College of Art, the University of Sussex, and the University of Edinburgh.[5][24] The Sackler Faculty of Medicine at Tel Aviv University is named after Arthur, Mortimer, and Raymond Sackler for their donations. Similarly, the Sackler Institute of Pulmonary Pharmacology at King's College London was named after Mortimer and Theresa Sackler.[26][27]
The Sackler family name, as used in institutions which the family have donated to, saw increased scrutiny in the late 2010s over the family's association with OxyContin. David Crow, writing in the Financial Times, described the family name as "tainted" (cf. Tainted donors).[28][29] In March 2019, the National Portrait Gallery and the Tate galleries in the UK announced that they would not accept further donations from the family. This came after the American photographer Nan Goldin threatened to withdraw a planned retrospective of her work in the National Portrait Gallery if the gallery accepted a £1 million donation from a Sackler fund.[30][31] In June 2019, NYU Langone Medical Center announced they will no longer be accepting donations from the Sacklers, but have yet to change the name of the Sackler Institute of Graduate Biomedical Sciences.[32] Later in 2019, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, each announced they will not accept future donations from any Sacklers that were involved in Purdue Pharma.[33]
On July 1, 2019, Nan Goldin, an American photographer, the founder ofP.A.I.N.,[34] led a small groups of protesters who unfurled a banner "Take down the Sackler name" against the backdrop of the Louvre's glass pyramid.[34][35][36][37][38] According to The New York Times, the Louvre in Paris was the first major museum to "erase its public association" with the Sackler family name. On July 16, 2019 the museum had removed the plaque at the gallery entrance about Sacklers’ donations made to the museum. Throughout the gallery, grey tape covered signs such as Sackler Wing, including signage for the Louvre's Persian and Levantine artifacts collection, which was removed on July 8 or 9. Signage for the collection had identified it as the Sackler Wing of Oriental Antiquities since 1997.[
