All are welcome to a special one-day display of highlights of Beinecke Library collections related to the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Black Freedom Movement on view for the holiday in the courtyard level reading room. The 2025 display will be on Sunday, January 19.
You will be able to see an array of materials, many drawn from the library’s James Weldon Johnson Memorial Collection of African American Arts and Letters, that highlight Dr. King’s life, legacy, and impact, and the long civil rights movement in the United States. The display will also include materials about Black New Haven history and the lives and legacies of Yale's earliest Black students, from the 1830s into the 20th century.
While these materials will be on one-day display for this special holiday, they are regularly available for research in the reading room. If you are interested in doing research in Beinecke and other Yale Library special collections, library staff are available to guide you through the process. You do not have to be affiliated with Yale to do research in Beinecke and other special collections.
