The documentary, Black Table, follows the story of the largest class of Black students at Yale in the 1990s against a backdrop of racial unrest.
As members of Yale’s class of 1997, the documentary was a special project for directors Bill Mack and John Antonio James.
“The black table was a kind of hastily connected series of tables that the Black students at Yale would bring together and they created this space within the cafeteria,” said James. The film highlights how Black and Brown students were often questioned about the validity of their achievements. The directors hope to convey the message that affirmative action was granted based on merit and it did not take “a spot that didn’t belong to you,” said James.
