Marie Chan, a former California public school teacher and adoptive parent, discusses her book "Mamie Takes a Stand," which tells the true story of Mamie Tape, a Chinese American girl who fought for school rights in 1884. Mamie was denied entry to a local San Francisco school due to her Chinese descent. Chan emphasizes the importance of diverse representation in children's literature and the interconnectedness of historical events. She also highlights her work with trauma-informed support groups for adoptive parents and the significance of faith in her advocacy. Chan's research involved extensive collaboration with historians and the Tate family, and she plans to share the story with Mamie's descendants.
