Sherman Hsiu-huang Wu (Chinese: 吳修潢; 1937 – May 11, 2010) was a Chinese-American social activist and professor, whose experiences at Northwestern University brought the issue of discrimination against Asian Americans to the fore. The general condemnation of the prejudice exhibited against him presaged later actions in the Asian American movement. Wu was born in China to K. C. Wu, a Chinese politician, and Edith Huang. The younger Wu was prevented from leaving Taiwan, where his father had served as governor, after the rest of his family had moved to the United States. K.C. Wu charged that this action was retaliation for his criticisms of the government of Chiang Kai-shek. Eventually, however, Wu was allowed to leave. Sherman Wu is best known because of the song "The Ballad of Sherman Wu", by Arthur Winner, which appeared on the Pete Seeger recording Gazette. The lyrics to the song are available at The Mudcat Cafe.
