Note from Sandie: I feel like I always fall into a mid-season slump, where I get really sick or work begins to pile up. I'm so sorry!   This week, law student Renée de Jesus joins Sandie to talk about the case for de-segregation of schools before Brown v. Board of Education: Mendez v. Westminster. They discuss microaggressions, terrible startups, and how to decolonize your education (and mind).   This podcast is presented by Brick By Brick Studios (IG: @brickbybrickstudios) and sponsored in part by Dylan Underwear (IG: @dylan_underwear).

2.11 Lawyer Up: Sylvia Mendez (w/ Reneé de Jesus)

Classnotes Podcast (May 20, 2013) Sylvia Mendez remembers vividly the day in March of 1945 when her family was told she and the other children had to go to the “Mexican school.” Her father knew it wasn’t right. So, along with other families and with the help of LULAC, the Mendez sued four local school districts for segregating their children. Thurgood Marshall co-authored an amicus brief filed by the NAACP. The subsequent 1947 ruling in Mendez vs. Westminster and the California Board of Education ended segregation in California school districts. In this interview, Sylvia Mendez tells her story and describes how the Mendez case foreshadowed Brown vs. Board of Education less than a decade later. She cautions that schools are more segregated today then in the 1940s. She is interviewed by Kristin Grayson, M.Ed., an IDRA education associate and Bradley Scott, Ph.D., director of the IDRA South Central Collaborative for Equity, provides and introduction.
