the David Brion Davis Memorial Endowed Resource Fund
The Gilder Lehrman Center Legacy Fund
Twenty-one years ago, the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition was founded at Yale University. The Gilder Lehrman Center was the first institution in the world wholly devoted to scholarship, public education, and outreach about the global problem of slavery across all borders and all time. In a world that needs this work now more than ever, we invite you to join us in sustaining our mission to foster an improved academic and public understanding of the role of slavery, its destruction, and its legacies in the functioning of the modern world.
To support the annual programming, outreach, and other key activities of the Gilder Lehrman Center, please contribute to the Gilder Lehrman Center Legacy Fund.
