An American citizen of Mexican and Puerto Rican heritage who spoke and wrote perfect English, Mendez was denied enrollment to a “Whites only” school. Her parents took action by organizing the Hispanic community and filing a lawsuit in federal district court. Their success eventually brought an end to the era of segregated education in California.

READING LEVEL Grades 1-5 / Ages 7-12 REVIEWS “Tonatiuh masterfully combines text and folk-inspired art to add an important piece to the mosaic of U.S. civil rights history.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review 4 An Educator’s Guide to Separate Is Never Equal: Sylvia Mendez & Her Family’s Fight for Desegregation “Children will understand the importance of the 1947 ruling that desegregated California schools, paving the way for Brown v. Board of Education seven years later” —School Library Journal “Tonatiuh (Pancho Rabbit and the Coyote) offers an illuminating account of a family’s hard-fought legal battle to desegregate California schools in the years before Brown v. Board of Education.” —Publishers Weekly “Pura Belpré Award–winning Tonatiuh makes excellent use of picture-book storytelling to bring attention to the 1947 California ruling against public-school segregation.” —Booklist “The straightforward narrative is well matched with the illustrations in Tonatiuh’s signature style, their two-dimensional perspective reminiscent of the Mixtec codex but collaged with paper, wood, cloth, brick, and (Photoshopped) hair to provide textural variation. This story deserves to be more widely known, and now, thanks to this book, it will be.” —The Horn Book Magazine AWARDS • Américas Award Winner 2015 • Pura Belpré Award, Honor, Illustrator 2015 • Tomás Rivera Mexican American Children’s Book Award 2015 • IRA Notable Books for a Global Society Winner 2015 • NCTE Orbis Pictus Honor Book 2015 • Robert F.

  • Sympathetic Symbols, Social Movements, and School Desegregation
    Sympathetic Symbols, Social Movements, and School Desegregation MARISELA MARTINEZ-COLA* An important theoretical contribution to the study of social movements involving legal mobilization is framing theory. Framing encourages an analysis of the parties involved and the tools used to make meaning of their cause. A scholarly gap emerges, however, when considering the race, gender, and class of the litigants and the social challenges they face. In this article, the author blends framing theory with controlling images theory to provide a conceptual tool of “the sympathetic symbol” to analyze the effects of race, gender, and class. Next, the author introduces the legal and social histories of two school desegregation cases involving Chinese American and Mexican American plaintiffs, identifying the relevant controlling images germane to each case. Finally, the author questions whether a sympathetic symbol is necessary to counter the raced, gendered, and classed stereotypes that threaten the struggle for equality and suggests future directions for research. INTRODUCTION Scholars who study social movements as well as race have recently suggested that a theoretical and empirical gap exists within the literature and research on social movements. Joyce Bell, for example, suggests that, “…a lack of attention to research on black movements [inhibits] the development of the methodological and theoretical tools available to students of social movements on the whole.”1 She argues that much of the literature on social movements is privileged by whiteness and fails to take into account the complexities of race even though its theoretical frameworks were rooted in the Civil Rights Movement (CRM). Glenn E. Bracey further observes that when it comes to the study of social movements, “Blackness shape[s] the character and substance of Black antiracist mobilization, but whiteness shapes most analysis of their efforts.”2 *Marisela Martinez-Cola, Emory University Department of Sociology, 1555 Dickey Dr., Atlanta, GA 30322 [email protected] The author thanks Dr.

    Lauro Flores Department of Romance Languages and Literatures University of Washington Seattle, W A 98195 Visible Language XXI 1 (Winter 1987) Lauro Flores, pp.130-152 ©Visible Language, Wayne State University Press, Detroit, MI 48202 The contact and interaction of English and Spanish, of Mexican and Anglo-American cultures, lies at the heart of the Chicano experience in the United States. Accordingly, code-switching has been a salient feature of many Chicano literary works. The simulta­ neous incorporation of both languages into poetry and other artistic forms is sometimes interpreted as an expression of the ambiguity permeating the historical evolution of this people. However, it can also be explained as part of the Chicanos' attempt to achieve cultural definition and autonomy in a con­ flicting reality. 131 II The author gratefully The historical context. acknowledges the support he received from the Institute for Ethnic Studies in the Any brief reference to Chicano poetry is bound to United States, University of refer the uninformed reader almost exclusively to Washington. It made the literary production loosely associated with the possible the completion of Chicano movement - poetry written during the last this and other projects. two decades. Until recently, the general contention, or at least the assumption on the part of many critics and literary historians, was that before the 1960s there was no literature written by people of Mexican descent in the United States. Nothing could be farther from the truth. While it is clear that the Chicano movement came to foment and revitalize the artistic endeavors of Chicanos during the last twenty years, subsequent research has demonstrated that the production of literature is hardly a new activity for this group.

  • School Desegregation and the Law — Brown and Black Victories During the Civil Rights Era
    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 2014 Volume III: Race and American Law, 1850-Present Hidden Realities: School Desegregation and the Law — Brown and Black Victories During the Civil Rights Era Curriculum Unit 14.03.05 by Waltrina D. Kirkland-Mullins Between mid-November through the first week in January, teachers at the Davis Street Arts & Academics Interdistrict Magnet School in New Haven, CT prepare for our annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Assembly. We collectively lay the foundation for examining the Civil Rights era and its impact on American society as we know it today. Grades Pre-K through 1 take a simplistic, developmentally appropriate look at the civil rights movement with emphasis on embracing cultural similarities and diverse peoples working and living together as a united community. Grades 2 through 3 take a generic look at Rosa Parks and the Montgomery, Alabama bus boycotts. Grades 4 through 6 briefly examine past injustices experienced by African Americans in the segregated South, including examining the story of 14-year old Emmet Till. Each of these grade levels delves into an excerpted overview of Dr. King's "I Have A Dream" speech, accompanied by mosaic images of myriad people gathered at the Lincoln Memorial. Emphasis is placed on Black/White relationships and individuals who fought against racial injustice during the era. Although teacher and student efforts regarding the aforementioned prove laudable, the effort is in a sense insufficient. For years, we have taught our children about the black/white inequities encountered in the struggle for civil rights.
