THE MIGHTY PATSY MINK!

The Mighty Patsy Mink! follows Patsy Takemoto Mink on her journey to become the first woman of color elected to Congress. Despite facing discrimination against Asian Americans and women, Patsy does not let injustice quiet her voice. She speaks up for what she believes in and becomes a champion for civil rights, racial equality, and education. Patsy’s story shows us that one voice can make a LOUD impact!

"After our chat with Molly, two of our students, ages 6 and 8, were so inspired that they took out books from the library on Rosa Parks and began writing a play showcasing Rosa Parks's childhood and the story of how she pioneered the civil rights movement." --Sixth Street Community Center
