For Women's Heritage Day at History Park, CHCP's Student Docent Cultural Ambassador Program (SDCAP) screened several short videos celebrating contributions and accomplishments of Chinese women from the past and the present.  SDCAP Members Zacharee Ho and Megan Tian assisted in presenting the videos.

By Russell Low, Guest Speaker

We celebrated Women's Month at San Jose's History Park in the Chinese American Historical Museum (Ng Shing Gung Museum). The upstairs temple provided a wonderful setting for the presentations. I was privileged to speak about my new book, which honors Tye Leung Schulze—a trailblazer for women's and human rights over a century ago. Standing just 4'9", Tye was a towering figure in Asian American history. She became the first Chinese woman to vote in 1912 and the first to hold a U.S. government job at Angel Island in 1910. She fought human trafficking alongside Donaldina Cameron and advocated for women's reproductive rights. Sharing her legacy with a new generation is an honor I deeply cherish. Tye's grandson, Ted Schulze, attended the presentation, adding a special and meaningful touch to the event.

NOTE: Russell Low was also a featured speaker at CHCP's 08/13/22 Spirit of '45 celebration.
