Johnson’s "Encyclopédie noire" Join Yale University’s Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition in celebrating French Caribbean scholarship and the two co-winners of 2024 Frederick Douglass Book Prize (FDBP): Marlene L. Daut for Awakening the Ashes: An Intellectual History of the Haitian Revolution (University of North Carolina Press) and Sara E. Johnson for Encyclopédie noire: The Making of Moreau de Saint-Méry’s Intellectual World (Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture and University of North Carolina Press). "These two extraordinary books,” 2024 FDBP jury chair Amy Murrell Taylor noted, “are unique in focus but converge in the common quest to uncover the intellectual legacies of slavery and enslaved people, through wide-ranging and inventive readings of texts.” Both authors, she continues, “see in the French Caribbean, and the intellectual labors of Haitian people, the roots of modern thought about slavery and freedom, racism, and colonialism." The Frederick Douglass Book Prize is jointly sponsored by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History (GLI) in New York City and the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition (GLC) at Yale University. Established in 1999, the FDBP recognizes the best book written in English on the topics of slavery, resistance, or abolition copyrighted in the preceding year.

CLASSROOM 4 | DCP | 2025 | Directed by Eden Wurmfeld | USA | 39 minutes Winner of the Jury Award for Best Documentary at Aspen Shortsfest, CLASSROOM 4 follows an award-winning history professor, Reiko Hillyer (Yale College 1991), as she leads a group of students, half incarcerated and half undergraduates from a local college, in a class titled “The History of Crime and Punishment in the United States.” The film challenges the invisibility of incarcerated people, reveals the consequences of mass imprisonment for everyone, and emphasizes the importance of these programs to bring together the incarcerated and free to meet and know one another. Followed by a panel discussion bringing together two models of prison education: the Inside-Out Prison Exchange at Lewis & Clark College and the Yale Prison Education Initiative. This open dialogue invites us to consider what becomes possible when incarcerated students are given access to a rigorous liberal arts education. We welcome all, especially students, educators, and community members directly impacted by incarceration, to participate in this open dialogue. Panelists: Maurice Blackwell (YPEI alumnus), Kyle Gonzalez (YPEI alumnus), and Reiko Hillyer (Lewis & Clark College) Moderator: Elizabeth Hinton, Yale professor of Black studies, history, and law Free and open to the public!

Online | Zoom John Marquez (GLC Research Affiliate; Assistant Professor of History, University of California, Riverside) What did it mean to be free in a world so deeply marked by unfreedom? In this talk, I reframe the history of freedom in the South Atlantic world within the broader aspirations of Africans and their descendants to claim belonging—in families, in communities, and in imperial political communities. I focus on an enslaved woman in Brazil named Marcelina Dias Silvestre who petitioned the Portuguese crown at the turn of the eighteenth century for her manumission. Through an analysis of the arguments she and others made in their royal appeals, I argue that enslaved people articulated moral critiques of enslavement that promoted manumission as a form of justice. In doing so, petitioners like Marcelina Dias Silvestre not only contested the very meanings of slavery itself but also claimed positions as insiders of the imperial political community.
