We Sing from the Heart

How the Slants(r) Took Their Fight for Free Speech to the Supreme Court

Illustrator: Gómez, Victor Bizar

Beschreibung

Music is a way to transcend cultures and divides. Simon Tam used his band's name, The Slants, to make a powerful statement that racist insults could no longer be hurtful to Asian Americans. But then the U.S. Trade and Patent Office tries to stop him. In his eight-year battle to win trademark protection, Simon would go all the way to the Supreme Court in a landmark case to rout out structural racism in our government systems.
