Yale Library DEIA and the MLK25 Citywide Read Planning Committee are partnering with churches across the New Haven and Greater Connecticut area to engage in a civic discourse on the written works of Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II. We are hosting a collaborative virtual Bible study session led by Yale staff members on Thursday, January 30, from 5:30pm to 7:00pm. This session will focus on Dr. Barber’s perspective on the history of civil rights in the United States and the role religion has played in shaping that history.
1975 marks the momentous end of the Vietnam War—when the U.S. military formally withdraws its troops and North Việt Nam begins to occupy its southern counterpart. Both events are memorialized in American visual memory, in which images of U.S. helicopters leaving scores of desperate people behind and a tank bulldozing through National Unification Palace in Sài Gòn are iconic mnemonics of the war and its close. In other words, much of our understanding of “Vietnam,” my own included, has been narrated through visuality and spectacle.

The Jackson School of Global Affairs will host the panel discussion, “Sex and Gender in Hard Times: Theory, Law, Policy,” featuring an interdisciplinary, international group of scholars and advocates invested in the questions of how rights attach to gender and sexuality and with regard for the fault lines and internal contestations which hover below the surface of contemporary rights advocacy.
We are hosting an experimental non-traditional classical music event, featuring music that draws from a wide variety of cultures and styles. Removing the barrier between artist and audience, we seek to bring together an eclectic group of artists of all types. Each short 5-7 minute piece will be introduced with points of interest, personal anecdotes, cultural background, and relevance; following each performance, we will lead a small discussion, reacting to what we heard and felt.
