Yale University Library has been collecting Chinese-language materials for 170 years. Six titles of Chinese classical texts were deposited at Yale in August 1849, making the College Library the first academic library in the United States to collect Chinese-language books. Samuel Wells Williams, the inaugural Professor of Chinese Language and Literature at Yale, was largely responsible for the earliest acquisitions for the Library. Yung Wing, the first Chinese citizen to graduate from a major American college, was the most important contributor to the founding of Yale’s Chinese Collection.
For the African American community, the 1960s was a period marked by significant movements in the struggle of social change and racial uplift. From the Civil Rights Movement to the rise of Black Power, African Americans shaped an ideology centered around Black Consciousness and the Black Church held an important role, serving as a locus for justice and resistance.
