Dedicated in 1915, Yale's Civil War memorial makes no mention of slavery and honors equally Union and Confederate students, faculty, and alumni who died in the war. Recently, a touch-screen kiosk was installed near the memorial to “inform visitors about its history and provide additional resources,” according to the website of the Yale and Slavery Research Project.
