Hazel V. Carby, the Charles C. and Dorathea S. Dilley Professor of African American Studies and American Studies at Yale University, delivered the seventh annual Henry L. Gates Jr., Lecture, “Difficult Times,” on April 11, 2019, at the Whitney Humanities Center Auditorium, Yale University.
The Gates Lecture, established in 2012 and administered by the Department of African American Studies at Yale, is endowed in the spirit of excellence that Professor Gates (‘73) brought to the Yale community, particularly in African American Studies, during his years of undergraduate study and while on the faculty. The Gates Lectureship is made possible through the generous support of Daniel and Joanna S. Rose.
