We will commemorate Dr. King’s vision for a more equitable and just future with a display of drawings, photographs, prints, and rare books highlighting the concepts of integrity, justice, peace, and resistance. Selections from the permanent collection include plates from the books Jerusalem and Songs of Innocence by William Blake (1757–1827); the utopian novel News from Nowhere by William Morris (1834–1896); and, displayed in its entirety, the outstanding Rivington Place Portfolio (2007), a series of eight prints by international artists created to raise funds for Rivington Place, the United Kingdom’s first permanent home for culturally diverse visual arts and photography.
Join us in the Study Room for this special display. Preregistration is required. Please contact ycba.studyroom@yale.edu to register by 4 pm on Wednesday, January 17.
