The Commons Dining Hall was a central hub for Yale students in the 1990s. For Black students, especially the class of 1997, it became home to the "Black Table," a space they created for community in an institution that wasn't fully prepared for them. Directors John James and Bill Mack's documentary explores the significance of this table, weaving personal stories and reunions that reflect on identity, belonging, and the ongoing relevance of affirmative action.
