Sarah-SoonLing Blackburn is an author, educator, and speaker. She is the author of the new young reader book Exclusion and the Chinese American Story, part of the Race to the Truth series.
In the book, Sarah dives into the histories of Chinese Americans who contributed to the gold rush, the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad, and sharecropping in the Mississippi Delta, while also looking at stories of discrimination and racism surrounding laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.
She joins Heath to discuss her research process, her upbringing as a mixed race child in several countries, her life as an Asian-American adult in Mississippi, and the philosophy behind her time as a classroom teacher.
