Marvis, Barbara J.
As part of a five-volume series written at a reading level for grades five to six and as a tribute to the contributions Asian Americans have made to the United States, this volume presents biographical sketches of Asian Americans who can serve as role models for today's youth. The profiles in the series show the triumph of the human spirit. Volume III profiles: (1) Samuel I. Hayakawa, Japanese American semanticist, educator, and senator; (2) Vivian Kim, Korean American founder of the National Association of Professional Asian Women; (3) Isamu Noguchi, Japanese American sculptor; (4) Ida Chen, Chinese American judge; and (5) Michael Chang, Chinese American professional tennis player.
