Sylvia Mendez: Civil Rights Activist
This engaging biography tells the story of Sylvia Mendez, a Mexican-American girl whose family's fight to attend an all-white school led to the landmark 1947 case Mendez v. Westminster, which helped desegregate California's schools years before Brown v. Board of Education. Featuring a helpful timeline and historical photographs, the book brings to life an often-overlooked chapter of civil rights history. Perfect for young readers interested in social justice, Latino history, and stories of courage against injustice, this account informs and inspires.
