Sylvia Mendez (left), 73, talks to her sister Sandra Mendez Duran (right), 59, about Mendez v. Westminster, their family’s 1945 lawsuit that won Mexican-American children the right to attend white schools. Listen to them speak here, Story Corps – Mendez.
What surprised you about this story?
The thing that surprised me about Sylvia’s family is that they got a whole group to help them for equality.
What surprised me was people wouldn’t sign the pitition and help there kids succeed and try to keep there job.
My brother has autism but nobody makes him feel like he is different and nobody should. So this video reminds me of him almost.
Thats disappointing that thats what happened back then.
