Mendez (Not Menendez) Family Gets A Stamp
18 September 2007, 5:04 PM. By Carlos Posas
As part of Hispanic Hoo Ha Month, the U.S. Post Office has issued a commemorative stamp to celebrate the sixty-year anniversary of an important court case won by the Mendez family of California. Not the Menendezes as we originally thought. (Ha! Oops!) The Mendezes sued a school in California in 1947 for rejecting their kids because they were brown which set a precendent for Brown v. the Board of Education. Too bad they have to share one book between the two of them on that stamp. And too bad they couldn’t have an illustration of Jesus riding a “My Little Pony.”
