Summary

"You probably know that the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education case was an important part of ending segregation in schools. But it wasn't the only one. In 1947, Mendez v. Westminster helped end segregation in California's schools. With key biographical information and related historical events, this Capstone Captivate book will uncover Mendez's story and show how it connects to Brown v. Board of Education"--, Provided by publisher
