Abstract
Black and white photographs of Black Moratorium, a one-day suspension of classes to allow for College-wide discussion and seminars relating to issues of race relations and Black dissatisfaction. The Moratorium was held thanks to advocacy efforts of the Afro-American Society (later renamed Black Students' Union). Photographed are students, faculty, staff, speakers, and visitors. Individuals photographed include Ralph Ellison, Prosser Gifford, and Calvin Hastings Plimpton. Events photographed are in various locations including in Johnson Chapel, in Valentine Hall, in Porter Lounge of Converse Hall, and in a classroom. These photographs are assumed to have been taken by the College Photographer for the Office of Public Affairs (now the Office of Communications). Jim Gerhard was the College Photographer from the mid-1960s to 1971.
