Document Summary
We are a naion founded on genocide, slavery, conquest, and war people of color struggled to assert their dignity and humanity. Mexican american families fought back in orange county, challenged segregated schools. Soldiers return home: man discharged from service, came from and his kids were enrolled in non-segregated school but got moved to segregated school to make room for other kids. Naacp argued that usa could not segregate people like nazi germany. Thurgood marshal and gov warner: gov warner later desegregated whole naion. Man named mr. peters took his own daughter instead of her being bussed. Gonzalo mendez jr says he didn"t know unil he was 14 that there was prejudice in this world. We have a mindset in the usa that civil rights is just a black/white issue. Mendez case is brown v. boe for mexicans: brown v. boe was just black/white.
