In 1884, Chinese children weren’t allowed to attend public schools in San Francisco. But Mamie Tape took a brave step and showed up anyway. When she was turned away at the schoolhouse door, she and her parents took another step: they sued the school board…and won! Their case Tape v. Hurley made its way up to the California Supreme Court, which ruled that children of Chinese heritage had the right to a free public school education. But even then, Mamie’s fight wasn’t over.
Mamie Tape Fights to Go to School is the story of one young changemaker’s brave steps on the long journey to end school segregation in California. It all began with a single step.
