One of the largest classes of black students in Yale University’s history arrived in 1993, just as the country entered a period now known as the Great American Divide: the unofficial beginning of today’s culture wars. This group of students formed a tight-knit community around a shared dining table that became their refuge at the mostly white Ivy League school that was not fully prepared for them.
John Antonio James previously directed Siempre, Luis about an immigrant from Puerto Rico determined to bring the musical Hamilton to his island home. Bill Mack is known for The Obituary of Jasper James and New Guy.
