Where we are today is a reflection of those who came before. For nearly 150 years, Black students have been shaping the Mount Holyoke we know. While acknowledging the struggles, this exhibit highlights the milestones that brought us to today.

The history and legacy of the Black community at Mount Holyoke is rich and multifaceted, marked by the leadership, community, activism and achievement that defines a Mount Holyoke education.

Please note: We are closed for lunch 12–1 pm.

Open with an appointment the remainder of the 2023/24 academic year. Email archives@mtholyoke.edu to make an appointment to visit.

You can also view the exhibit virtually.
