HARP: Yale’s overlooked history | Yale Daily News
In a society that separates groups of people for extended periods of time, two distinct cultures often emerge. Yale is no different. In the early 20th century, African-Americans made up about 1 percent of Yale’s student body and were scattered among the University’s various schools. They were excluded from many campus activities and had to devise their own forms of entertainment and means of socialization. Their stories are often left out of Yale’s history.
