The stamp celebrates the 60th anniversary of a landmark segregation case. Sixty years ago, a group of California Hispanic parents fought to end segregation in their schools. This groundbreaking court case became known as Mendez vs. Westminster School District and started a movement toward equality in all school districts regardless of race.

The event is sponsored by UNM and contributors to the De Colores Hispanic Cultural Festival. For information, call Jennifer Gomez‐Chavez at 2777763.
