GONZALEZ OROPEZA, Manuel  and  DEL ROSARIO RODRIGUEZ, Marcos. Méndez v. Westminster and Its Contribution to the Consolidation of Equality Rights through Its Influence on Brown v. Board of Education. Isonomía [online]. 2015, n.42, pp.149-167. ISSN 1405-0218.

The Mendez v. Westminster case has a very important role in the development of equality rights and the abolition of racial segregation. It influenced legal reform in the State of California, increasing equal access to education. But no doubt its greatest influence was on the Brown v. Board of Education ruling, whose main tenets were grounded on considerations set down in Mendez.

Keywords : equality; segregation; discrimination; Brown v. Board of Education.
