Description
In 1885, Mamie tries to join her white friends at school. The only problem? She is prevented by segregation. But with encouragement from her parents, Mamie decides to sue for her right to go. Follow Mamie on her journey on her fight to attend school, with her case to the California Supreme Court: Tape v. Hurley (1885). When Mamie Tape and her mother walk to the front steps of the local all-white school, Mamie is turned away. Why? Because she is Chinese. At first, Mamie is dejected. Why can't she join her white neighbor friends? Mamie is from a non-traditional Chinese family that has adopted "American" ways. If the Chinese school is closed, where is she supposed to go? Mamie's mother reminds her "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Mamie takes her first step: hiring two lawyers to fight on her behalf for her to go to school. When the school board tries to discriminate against her, Mamie's case makes it all the way to the California Supreme Court, where the court ruled in her favor. Mamie Tape's Fight to Go to School is a story about how one young changemaker's resilience and fight against racism paved the way for school desegregation.
