Student struggles of the 1960s sought to build an activist infrastructure that would sustain long-term collective mobilization in opposition to a university--and a world--beholden to its past. In other words, student movements at Yale intended for a radical redistribution of power within the university, enmeshed in a mosaic of global liberation struggles. The Black Student Alliance at Yale (BSAY) in major part acted as the first architect of this project, demanding a student center for Black students and the creation of a Black Studies department at the university. Not only did tangible victories emerge from their endeavors, but Black students’ activism also paved the way for future movements by students of color. As Black students continued to act against institutional and banal racism like the sudden shutdown of a Calhoun College (now known as Hopper College in a testament to continued anti-racist struggle) social mixer after the arrival of Black attendees, Asian-American students campaigned for representation at Yale Law School, New Haven activists fortified synergies with Yale activists in shared action against police harassment, and the admission of women students to the campus in 1969 multiplied perspectives, solidarities, and visions. Asian-American and Latinx students created the Asian American Student Association and Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán (MEChA) de Yale in 1969, during which mobilization against imperial ventures in Vietnam and in the United States escalated into its culmination at the 1970 May Day demonstration against the conviction of members of the Black Panther Party’s New Haven Chapter accused of the murder of suspected FBI informant Alex Rackley, known as the New Haven Nine.
