Separados no somos iguales : Sylvia Méndez y la lucha de su familia por la integración / Duncan Tonatiuh ; traducción del inglés por Teresa Mlawer.
"Seven years before Brown v. Board of Education, the Méndez family fought to desegregate California schools. Discover their incredible story in this children's book from award-winning creator Duncan Tonatiuh. When her family moved to the town of Westminster, California, little Silvia Méndez was excited to enroll in her neighborhood school. But she and her siblings were rejected and told that they had to attend Mexican school instead. Sylvia couldn't understand why; she was an American citizen who spoke English perfectly. Why were the children of Mexican families forced to attend another school? Not being able to get one satisfactory response from the school board, the Méndez family decided to take matters into their own hands and file a lawsuit. Ultimately, the Méndez family's efforts helped end segregated education in California in 1947, seven years before the landmark ruling of the Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education will end segregation in schools across the United States. Using his distinctive illustration style and incorporating his interviews with Sylvia Méndez, as well as information from court archives and news, award-winning author and illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh tells the inspiring story of the Méndez family's fight for justice and equality."-- Provided by publisher.
"Siete años antes de Brown v. Board of Education, la familia Méndez luchó para acabar con la segregación en las escuelas de California. Descubre su increíble historia en este libro para niños del galardonado creador Duncan Tonatiuh. ¡Mención de Honor del Premio Pura Belpré al Ilustrador y Mención de Honor del Premio Robert F. Sibert!Cuando su familia se mudó al pueblo de Westminster, California, la pequeña Silvia Méndez estaba entusiasmada con inscribirse en la escuela de su vecindario. Pero ella y sus hermanos fueron rechazados y les dijeron que, en vez, tenían que asistir a la escuela mexicana. Sylvia no podía entender por qué; era una ciudadana estadounidense que hablaba inglés perfectamente. ¿Por qué obligaban a los hijos de familias mexicanas a asistir a otra escuela? Al no poder obtener una respuesta satisfactoria de la junta escolar, la familia Méndez decidió tomar cartas en el asunto y organizar una demanda. Al final, los esfuerzos de la familia Méndez ayudaron a acabar con la educación segregada en California en 1947, siete años antes de que el fallo histórico del Tribunal Supremo en el caso Brown v. Board of Education terminara con la segregación en las escuelas de todo Estados Unidos. Con su distintivo estilo de ilustración e incorporando sus entrevistas con Sylvia Méndez, así como información de archivos judiciales y noticias, el galardonado autor e ilustrador Duncan Tonatiuh cuenta la inspiradora historia de la lucha de la familia Méndez por la justicia y la igualdad."-- Provided by publisher.
