Minerva and Fredo are honored to share with you the civil rights story of Mendez V. Westminster told by the documentarian herself, Sandra Robbie. Sandra briefly shares this story and we follow up with some interview questions. We hope you are as inspired by this story and Sandra's mission to get it in school curricula across the US, as we are.
