Latino Caucus
On Saturday February 27, 2016, the Latino Caucus of the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) met to discuss Westminster v. Mendez; the California federal court case that eventually lead to Brown v. Board of Education. Justice Thurgood Marshal represented the Plantiffs and then used many of the same arguments later in Brown v. Board of Education.
A professor from DePaul University presented an historical perspective of the case. The group then discussed ways to incorporate the lessons from this case into classroom instruction.
