• Major Updates on the Yale & Slavery Research Project
  “… we recognize our university’s historical role in and associations with slavery, as well as the labor, the experiences, and the contributions of enslaved people to our university’s history, and we apologize for the ways that Yale’s leaders, over the course of our early history, participated in slavery.”
• Building Yale, Mondays at Beinecke Talk
  One key takeaway from this talk is slave labor helped build Connecticut Hall, and thus, also belongs in the story of how Yale became a college.
• David Blight and Teanu Reid on the Yale and Slavery Research Project 
  One of the notable contributions of the Yale & Slavery Research Project will be the investigation of chattel slavery in eighteenth-century New Haven and in connection to Yale College.
