Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and author of biography Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom, David W. Blight, answers the call to investigate Yale University’s historical involvement with the slave trade and abolition. His findings take the form of a compelling narrative account of the role of slavery in the university’s past, based on the premise that the history of Yale is aligned with the history of the United States, and therefore American slavery. He considers the implications of his findings with Richard Brodhead, former Dean of Yale College and Emeritus President of Duke University.
