A guided tour of “Shining Light on Truth: New Haven, Yale, and Slavery” with curator Michael Morand. The exhibition complements the publication of Yale and Slavery: A History and draws from the Yale and Slavery Research Project’s key findings in areas such as the economy and trade, Black churches and schools, the 1831 Black college proposal, and memory and memorialization in the 20th century and today.

Composed by Dan Forrest and arguably the most popular major work for choir and orchestra written in the first quarter of the 21st century, Requiem for the Living forms a narrative just as much for the living, and their own struggle with pain and sorrow, as for the dead. Combining both liturgical and non-liturgical texts, this powerful five-movement work projects a wide range of expression, from a biting essay on the vanity and pain of existence, to a plea for mercy, and finally a celebration of eternal light.
