Separate is Never Equal

Separate Is Never Equal is a powerful picture book telling the true story of Sylvia Mendez and her family’s experience in California segregated schools almost ten years before the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case. The Mendez family led local organizing efforts that improved education outcomes for all students. Their story encourages us to believe in the potential of all kids. To encourage conversation with children about the book’s themes, our team is including this bilingual reading discussion guide with your order.
