In "Yale and Slavery," award-winning historian David W. Blight, in collaboration with the Yale and Slavery Research Project, explores the significant impact of slavery and resistance on Yale University's history. Through a thorough examination of archival materials, the book traces the institution's ties to slavery from its founding in 1701 to the unveiling of its Civil War memorial in 1915, highlighting the often-overlooked contributions of enslaved and free Black individuals. This narrative sheds light on how these figures not only impacted the university’s development but also fought for justice and recognition, revealing a complex and intertwined legacy of higher education and racial slavery in America.
