Betty Lee Sung was born on October 3, 1924 and is currently 95 years old. She is married to Charles Sung and has brought up eight children with him. She is a retired professor of CUNY with a doctorate degree from the University of New York Old Westbury. She is known as an advocate for advancing the rights of Asian Americans and immigrants in the United States. Sung became an advocate when she discovered that American people had a mistaken image/stereotypes of Chinese people. This led to Sung being an author of many books. Some of her nine books are the Adjustment Experience of Chinese Immigrant Children in New York City(1987), Defiant Second Daughter: My First 90 Years(2015), Statistical Profile of the Chinese in the United States: 1970 Census(1975), and many more. Sung wrote these books because she wanted to correct the image that Americans held of the Asian population in America. She didn’t want the Asian population to be looked down upon as yellow faces who didn’t know how to speak English, or aliens who didn’t deserve a place in the American society. So she went and changed these stereotypical ideals.
