Author Talk with Paula Yoo: “From a Whisper to a Rallying Cry”

During Asian American/Pacific Islander Heritage Month (Spring 2022), MHS will host a discussion with acclaimed author, Paula Yoo, for Juniors and other interested students. From a Whisper to a Rallying Cry documents the story of Vincent Chen and the role his death played in the Asian American and Pacific Islander community and civil rights history. Among other awards, this book was selected for the May 2022 National Education Association’s Read Across America, as well as selected by The Washington Post and the New York Public Library as one of the Best Children’s Books of 2021. The Mamaroneck Public Library will co-sponsor the event, which will be livestreamed on Zoom for the community and recorded for future use. The grant funds an honorarium, travel expenses (if in-person), and copies of the book for the MHS library.
