Shining Light on Truth with David Jon Walker and Michael Morand: Mondays at Beinecke 10/20/25

Curator Michael Morand and lead designer David Jon Walker discuss “Shining Light on Truth: Black Lives at Yale & in New Haven,” an exhibition which illuminates ongoing research that recovers the essential role of Black people throughout Yale and New Haven history. The exhibition puts back at the center of local storytelling people who have always been central to local history. It celebrates Black community building, resistance, and resilience on campus and in New Haven. This exhibition brings forth knowledge kept alive in archives and memory for many centuries—even when the dominant culture chose to ignore, bury, or forget. It extends the work of the Yale and Slavery Research Project and follows from the exhibition, “Shining Light on Truth: New Haven, Yale and Slavery,” previously at the New Haven Museum. Mondays at Beinecke online talks focus on materials from the collections and include an opening presentation at 4pm followed by conversation and Q & A beginning about 4:30pm until 5pm.
