                    by Duncan Tonatiuh
Below are some questions to help parents start conversations with their kids:

  • What does separate but equal mean?
  • What were the differences between the Westminster School and the Hoover School?
  • Why do you think they were so different?
  • Mr. Mendez was told over and over that his children had to go to a Mexican school, but was never told why. He continued to fight for what was fair.
  • What do you do when you see something being done to others that isn’t fair?
