It was obvious but all glory to god that it was a small win for us all. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051675 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051675 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:33 -0500 Exactly and because of their strong will we are where are today. We can not forget that they are the reason that started the movement of equality for us Chicanos. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051673 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051673 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:33 -0500 That is so amazing that he stopped working for and he was risking everything and that was to fight for his kids. Even when his children were given permission to return he stood by for everyone else. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051668 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051668 Thu, 02 Sep 2021 14:49:46 -0400 It is so inspiring to see them come together for the same cause. They did not stand by and take the injustices thrown at them .They stood up and fought for what was right. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051665 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051665 Thu, 02 Sep 2021 14:52:03 -0400 They are strong headed people who when they saw an injustice they fought for their rights. It is amazing to see how people come together to fight for what they believe in. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051643 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051643 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:33 -0500 It is sad to see how before they would keep Mexicans from entering a certain place. For example they could pay the same price for the food but they would be asked to eat else where. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051640 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051640 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 12:24:43 -0400 Although there is low expectations for us Mexicans and receiving a education is low we have to prove them wrong. We also have to fight for our people or other minorities that are suffering. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051638 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051638 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:32 -0500 The way that it describes that the Mexicans were only allowed certain jobs due to their education and based on the views of those who hired them. even today they are tied to the most rigorous jobs due to their lack of education. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051391 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2051391 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:32 -0500 Even today we see that the expectations for Mexican students is low. If a mexican student attends a Ivy league there is praise from many but there is also people who hate. However because they underestimate us we work hard and prove them wrong. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2050221 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2050221 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:32 -0500 Well they did give them a education because that was part of the law. However they did not encourage for them to go and have a secondary education but they were encouraged in domestic service or labor jobs. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2050186 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2050186 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:32 -0500 Yes it was sad but we also have to look at the small victories we have won. We brought enough attention to our situation that it led to school being not segregated. We still have a long way to go but one victory at a time. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2050172 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2050172 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:32 -0500 Yes that is correct and that is still happening today. Although we are not segregated there is still views such as Mexicans not being more than just laborers. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2050150 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2050150 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:32 -0500 All these injustices is what led to the Chicano movements lead by Chavez and Huerta. Thanks to them we are where we are. Thanks to all those brave people. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2033870 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2033870 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:31 -0500 Totally true how they only saw Chicanos as the laborers but could not stand them trying to improve their situation and be successful . However we have proved them wrong as we see high rising numbers of successful Latinos. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2033862 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2033862 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:31 -0500 It was unfair for them to be treated this way. Similar like the Lemon Grove incident where the Mexican students were sent to barns. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2033832 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2033832 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:31 -0500 I were in her shoes I wouldn´t register my children either because its basically falling in line with their ideology. You should always fight for what is right. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2029923 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2029923 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:31 -0500 I think it has to do with the perspective of a white color being superior. The children's physical features were light so they could pass for Anglo Saxon however the cousins couldn´t as they were of darker skin tone. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2029919 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2029919 Tue, 31 Aug 2021 14:42:54 -0400 Yeah especially now we see this with the black lives matter movement. A white shooter will be taken down without being killed on the spot for possessing a gun however if a black african american man is suspected with unusual behavior they are shot. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2029917 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2029917 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:31 -0500 The minority groups were looked down as they thought nothing more of the mexicans but their field workers.This is why they are not given the same equality in education at that time. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2029033 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2029033 Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:05:31 -0500 The white superiority existed in the community as the Vidaurri were accepted due to their lighter physical features. Even though they were mexican but because the Mendoza were darker complexed they were rejected. https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2028976 https://nowcomment.com/documents/222544?scroll_to=2028976 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 12:32:41 -0400 Lemon grove did not have the Mexican children segregated . Although in other parts in CA there was attempts to have Mexicans to be categorized as Indians. In 1947 there was five Mexican American parents in Santa Ana, CA who fought a state-wide ruling . https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013690 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013690 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 20:53:52 -0400 (49:36 ) Mr.Anderson is testifying and the prescuating lawyers asks him that if the mexican children were to be Americanized would they be sent be back to the school. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013672 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013672 He also includes that the barn school is not only close to the Mexicans homes but also some whites. Thu, 03 Sep 2020 20:41:38 -0400 I found this interesting because when your in school it'is all english but when you get home its most prominently Spanish. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013652 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013652 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 20:32:29 -0400 The lawyer was trying to do this in order to confuse Roberto and prove a point that the Mexicans children were so far behind that they should attend the ¨Mexican Only School¨. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013591 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2013591 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 19:29:37 -0400 The opposing lawyer while questioning Roberto tried to use higher academic words in order to confuse him. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2009804 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2009804 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 19:29:37 -0400 The mexican parents meet with lawyers that are supportive of their cause of not segregating schools. The lawyers sit down with them and tell them that they are fully supporting them . This relieves the mexican parents. https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2009777 https://nowcomment.com/documents/216314?scroll_to=2009777 Thu, 03 Sep 2020 19:27:09 -0400
