Separate Is Never Equal

Separate Is Never Equal: Sylvia Mendez and Her Family's Fight for Desegregation - Duncan Tonatiuh

The book touches on colorism, an issue often glossed over or never even addressed in children’s books. The Mendez case led to the desegregation of California public schools and was influential when Brown v. Board of Education went before the Supreme Court. The case should be more well known and hopefully Tonatiuh’s book helps the story reach more people.
