At age 96, Noam Chomsky is a major American scholar. Last year, he was rumored to have died, but he was later discharged from the hospital.
In the later 20th century, Chomsky's linguistic framework became the dominant theory for how humans acquire language and process it in their brains (although his ideas have now been called into question by the new AI Large Language Models). His leftist politics also challenged American culture. Chomsky spoke at Winona State on March 20, 1998, a little over 27 years ago.

One of our many books about Chomsky is on the Krueger Library’s retention list.
Chomsky: language, mind, and politics / James McGilvray. Malden, MA: Blackwell, 1999.
(Our student newspaper, the Winonan, has been digitized and can be found on the Krueger Library’s OpenRiver repository. At the time of his lecture, there were letters to the editor of the Winonan discussing some of Chomsky’s ideas. Those letters can be found here: https://openriver.winona.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1200&context=thewinonan1990s)
Recap: In 2022, twenty-four Minnesota libraries joined together in a commitment to retain over a half-million print books which are scarcely-held in Minnesota. It is called the Minnesota Shared Print Collection. This is one of the stories from the Winona State share of the collection.
