Three distinguished and beloved scholars in African American Studies retired at the end of the spring 2019 term. For decades at Yale, their enlightened teaching and mentoring groomed scores of students, many of whom became leading scholars in the academy. They have shaped interdisciplinary scholarship through their canonical texts that illuminate the relevance of gender, class, race and ethnicity in America and across the African Diaspora. Their formal departures mark a poignant moment to reflect on and to celebrate the signature contributions each has made to establish and advance African American Studies at Yale, particularly as the department commemorates its 50th anniversary in 2019-2020.
