Young Aki Munemitsu never expected to be sent away from her home and her life as she knew it. The two girls definitely never expected to know each other, until their lives intersected on a Southern California farm in a way that changed the country forever. Who are Sylvia and Aki? And why did their family stories matter then and still matter today? This book reveals the remarkable, never-before-told story--based on true events--of Mendez vs. Westminster School District, the California court case that desegregated schools for Latino children and set the stage for Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education at the national level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Winifred Conkling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 158246345X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781582463452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yearling Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/09\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.50h x 5.20w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e144851 \/ Sylvia \u0026amp; Aki\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Winifred Conkling","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44053695430911,"sku":"9781582463452","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_65bf837a-66cc-4dcf-bfcd-78a70485cade.jpg?v=1685025744","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sylvia-aki-winifred-conkling-9781582463452","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
