Mendez v. Westminster: For All the Children, Para Todos los NiƱos

Few people outside of California are aware that until 1947, that state had separate schools for whites and Mexicans. The case of Mendez v. Westminster illustrates how the desegregation of California schools was rooted in the wartime internment of the state's Japanese-American residents and presaged the landmark desegregation case of Brown v. Board of Education seven years later. Discussion to follow.
