November 12 & 17 | At a dining hall table at Yale in the 1990s, a group of Black students sought sanctuary within the ivory tower, echoing the legacy of solidarity forged during civil rights protests at lunch counters decades earlier. Unbeknownst to them, this gathering becomes a monument to their resilience against microaggressions and systemic challenges. Their journey highlights the enduring strength of community and identity, reflecting the ongoing struggle for belonging in a post-segregation era.

“This recollection of breakthroughs, incidents, tribulations and graduations that plays out like you’re looking through a narrated photo album.” – Dwight Brown, DwightBrownInk.com
