Lemon Grove marks 100 years since landmark desegregation case

Lemon Grove is currently commemorating the 100th anniversary of a landmark desegregation case. In 1931, Mexican American families residing in San Diego County successfully secured a court order that forced the reinstatement of their children at a local school. This historic legal victory marked a significant milestone in the fight against educational segregation, ensuring that children of Mexican American descent could attend their local educational institution despite the discriminatory practices prevalent during that specific historical era.
