"What she and other performers in the Chinatown nightclubs did was fight racist preconceptions of what Asian Americans were about and what they could accomplish. They were pioneers that struggled for inclusion and paved the way for what we are witnessing today” –Arthur Dong, Director/Author Forbidden City, USA: Chinatown Nightclubs, 1936-1970, on the passing of Mai Tai Sing.
