Join us in celebrating Black resilience and creativity. Browse our collection of books by Black authors of
all genres, enjoy food from Ma's Wings & Things,
and join our viewing of MasterClass, The
History You Weren't Taught in School.
As
part of the $2 million commitment at MasterClass to make content that inspires
and educates on social justice and against systemic racism, for the first time,
an entire class will be available to stream for free. The three-part course, "Black
History, Black Freedom, and Black Love" will be freely available on
MasterClass.com during Black History Month. MasterClass has also teamed up with
Amazon to make the class available to stream for free on IMDb TV and available
for all U.S. Prime members on Prime Video.
This class will inform, contextualize and challenge viewers to rethink the notions of race and racism while reconciling gaps in traditional education about U.S. history and offer tools and techniques to empower change in our own lives. Gain a foundational understanding of the history of white supremacy and discover a path forward through the limitless capacity and resilience of Black love.

We’re Turning 100!
To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”
Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
