Young Sylvia Mendez never expected to be at the center of a
landmark legal battle. Young Aki Munemitsu never expected to be
sent away from her home and her life as she knew it. The two girls
definitely never expected to know each other, until their lives
intersected on a Southern California farm in a way that changed the
country forever. Who are Sylvia and Aki? And why did their family
stories matter then and still matter today? This book reveals the
remarkable, never-before-told story--based on true events--of
Mendez vs. Westminster School District, the California court case
that desegregated schools for Latino children and set the stage for
Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education at the national level.
