City administrator and labor leader Charles Calvin Yancey was born on December 28, 1948 - the sixth of nine children of Howell Yancey, Sr. and Alice W. Yancey. He graduated from Boston Technical High School in 1965. Yancey received his B.S. degree in economics from Tufts University in 1970 and his M.A. degree in public administration from Harvard University in 1991.
