What's the average, or at least the past few years? How does this compare with other years percentage-wise - is overall enrollment up or down? Maybe it's usually 20 every other year, maybe it's usually 200 🤷‍♂️ mostly useless without context

EDIT: there's a little more in the actual article, at least

Harvard Law enrolled 19 first-year Black students, or 3.4 percent of the class, the lowest number since the 1960s, according to the data from the American Bar Association. Last year, the law school’s first-year class had 43 Black students, according to an analysis by The New York Times.

“This is the lowest number of Black entering first-year students since 1965,” he added, pointing to numbers compiled by the Center on the Legal Profession at Harvard, where he also serves as faculty director. That year, there were 15 entering Black students. Since 1970, there have generally been 50 to 70 Black students in Harvard Law’s first-year class, he said.
