DESCRIPTION

Albert Einstein is celebrated worldwide for his groundbreaking scientific discoveries, but fewer people know about his deep commitment to social justice. This special program will feature an exhibit and presentation highlighting Einstein's advocacy for racial equality and his friendships with African Americans in Princeton and beyond.

When Einstein first arrived in Princeton on October 17, 1932, he found safety from Nazi persecution, calling it a "paradise." Yet he was deeply troubled by the segregation he witnessed in his new home and formed meaningful connections with Princeton's Black community, using his influence to support national civil rights leaders.

Join us as we celebrate this historic day with Einstein's favorite dessert — ice cream — and honor him not only as a scientific genius but also as a courageous champion of human rights.

Formal presentation to begin at 3:30 p.m. but participants are welcomed and encouraged to arrive early to expereince the exhibit or stay after.
