| Case of Mendez et al. v Westminster Board of Education | "On March 2, 1945, five Mexican-American fathers, Gonzalo Mendez, Thomas Estrada, William Guzman, Frank Palomino, and Lorenzo Ramirez, challenged the practice of school segregation in the Ninth Federal District Court in Los Angeles. They claimed that their children and 5,000 other children of "Mexican and Latin descent" were victims of unconstitutional discrimination by being forced to attend separate "Mexican" schools in the Westminster, Garden Grove, Santa Ana, and El Modeno school districts of Orange County. Judge Paul J. McCormick ruled in favor of Mendez and his co-plaintiffs on February 18, 1946, and more than a year later, on April 14, 1947, McCormick's ruling was upheld by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal in San Francisco. On June 14 of the same year, Governor Earl Warren signed into law a repeal of the last remaining school segregation statutes in the California Education Code. Thus did "separate but equal" end in California schools and with it ended de jure school segregation, legally and administratively enforced separation of racial and national groups in the public education system."

In Texas the networks sprang from the artists' commitment to record their historical experiences in an Anglo environment. They composed in Spanish and caló (an argot; see PACHUCOS), worked independently of the mainstream, and employed American Indian, Spanish, and Mexican perspectives in their work.
