Chiang Yee, Boston Athenaeum, and Cultural Understanding by CHSNE Board member Da Zheng, Professor and Director of Asian Studies at Suffolk University.
In 1952, Chiang Yee, a well-accomplished travel writer and artist, visited the U.S. to prepare for a book about Boston. During that trip, he became acquainted with Walter Whitehill, director of Boston Athenaeum, and this marked the beginning of an extraordinary relationship, which lasted nearly a quarter of a century. Though they came from entirely different racial and cultural backgrounds, the mutual appreciation, admiration, and understanding drew the two together, and their friendship became a touching story in the intellectual history of the twentieth century.
