This week in Chicano history: 1947 - The Mendez vs. Westminster School District case was the first successful challenge to an 1896 U.S Supreme Court doctrine that allowed “separate but equal” public facilities. thus ending the segregation of Latinos attending public schools & entering all white businesses in California, & being the reference case that eventually, 7 years later, allowed Roe vs. Wade to end segregation of all minority’s from any institutions & public areas, in America.
African-Americans weren’t the only ones..
exactly^
You mean Brown v Board of Education? I don’t think Roe v Wade was about school segregation…
