Mendez Historic Freedom Trail and Monument
Mendez Historic Freedom Trail and Monument tells the story of the landmark Mendez vs. Westminster case, which led to the desegregation of schools in California and laid the groundwork for the Brown vs. Board of Education case seven years later, making segregated schools illegal throughout the nation.
The freedom trail is two miles along Hoover Street and features a series of interactive panels, photographs, and statues along the route, paying homage to the case and the Mendez family. The memorial employs an augmented reality feature that allows visitors to log on with their smartphones as they view several interactive panels.
