Early Black Women Students at Yale: Lunchtime Webinar

Join Jennifer Coggins, Community Engagement Archivist for the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, for a lunchtime webinar hosted by the New Haven Museum. In this insightful session, Coggins will survey the lives and careers of Black women who attended Yale from the 1910s through the 1940s. While Yale College did not become coeducational until 1969, many of its graduate and professional schools welcomed women much earlier, including a significant number of Black women, many of whom were from New Haven. Coggins will highlight these pioneering women, featured in the Beinecke Library’s upcoming online resource, “Shining Light on Truth: Early Black Students at Yale.”
