Mendez v. Westminster (1947) was the Brown v. The Board of Education decision for Mexican Americans in California.

It was filed in 1946 by Gonzalo Mendez and a group of Orange County parents and community groups to force the segregated schools of Orange County to integrate Anglos and Mexican Americans.  

Photo is the 1930's at the Lincoln school or "Mexican" School in El Modena, Orange County, CA.  Please see Mendez v. Westminster for more information.
