Following on the success of the October 26 comedy night, The Sweet Spot is back with a new theme and an open invitation for Yale students to showcase their talents on The Underground stage! In this second installation of The Sweet Spot, the theme is acoustic and a cappella performances. Undergraduate, graduate, and professional students may register to perform. Performers may register as individuals or as groups. There will be limited sound gear on stage, so get creative. (Creativity is what makes The Sweet Spot so much fun!) Up to 10 minutes will be allotted for each performance.
Black Yale alumni with careers in media and journalism will come share about their experiences at Yale and beyond!
Come see YGC, RB, WORD, Sabro, Desta, Dzana, the Kappas, and more!
Lost Tribe, Broken Tribe, One Tribe–
As part two of The House’s Black History Month event series about the Kaepernick & America documentary, we will co-host a Trumbull College Tea featuring Steve Wyche, the reporter who broke the Colin Kaepernick story. He will share about his career in journalism, and the impact that the media had and continues to have on the Kaepernick saga and racial politics in general. This event is co-sponsored by Trumbull College and the Yale Journalism Initiative.
Join us for a screening of the award-winning documentary Kaepernick & America. It was nominated as Best Sports Documentary by the Critic’s Choice Awards, was called “exemplary” in the New York Times, and premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival. The documentary explores the life of Colin Kaepernick, former NFL quarterback and activist, as he took a stance against racism and police brutality. Following the screening, there will be Q&A with the co-producers, director, and the reporter who broke the Colin Kaepernick story.
