- Summary:
- Stand up for what's right. Eight-year-old Mamie Tape loved to learn. In the fall of 1884 in San Francisco, California, Mamie excitedly arrived for her first day at an American public school, only to find the principal blocking her way. Why? Because Mamie was Chinese. This is the real, little-known story of Mamie and her family's courageous fight for her right to attend public school. Will Mamie be allowed to join the rest of her friends at school, or will she be denied the education that she and every child deserve? Publisher.
