Yes a lot of people are serious about "Juan Crow" and are writing it into American history. Most believe it's real.

Mexicans were part of the white supremacist culture at the time. They were totally complicit in Jim Crow.

Mexicans were white, all of them, regardless of what they looked like. Even the George Lopez looking Mexicans.

The "poor people's campaign" was in the late 60s after the passage of the CRA - when other groups (who were not considered to be minorities then) sought the funding. There was no "multi-racial" effort when the movement was actually underway. Other ethnic groups only showed up during the aftermath.

Mexicans were white under state laws governing the segregation of the races. That's a fake sign.

Likewise, some are trying to reinterpret civil-rights era laws to focus on "people of color" rather black people.

Also, Mendez did NOT end segregation in CA, nor was it related to Brown v. Board of ed.

There was never a story about Sylvia Mendez in the time period. The case itself barely made the local news in Southern CA in '47, and she was not the focal point. Her name doesn't appear in print.
She was made famous in the 2000s, based largley on false historical claims made about her.

The Mendez Story was retroactively constructed in the 2000s. Most claims about it are untrue. Sylvia Mendez was NOT a public figure in the civil rights era at all. The case was virtually unknown in the time period, barely making the local news in Southern California in 1947.

Then "precursor" is meaningless. Any case that came before can be called a precursor.
The point is that Mendez was not a related case to Brown, that's why it was never cited nor mentioned at all. It was never historically considered to be related in the time period.

That's not how it works. For it to be "a direct precursor" it has to actually be cited and/or mentioned in Brown v. Board. It never was.

No, there was no coalitions. Mexicans were not minorities then.

Mendez did NOT desegregate public schools in CA. It only applied to a few districts in Orange Country, and it had NOTHING to do with Brown v. Board.
The Mendez Myth has gone too far. When organizations like yourself keep forwarding wrong information it becomes weaponized revisionism. Please stop!

The Hernandez decision was not used in any civil rights battles. There was no such thing as a "brown" race then - and much less a "black and brown" coalition.

Hernandez v. Texas was dug up more recently and retro-actively called a "major civil rights case". It wasn't considered to be anything like that in the time period. It was actually just a case defending a murderer and wasn't popular then.

"Mexicans were only white in population count, but were forced to use colored facilities during segregation"
That's a lie. Texans that grew up during segregation are still living. Mexicans were not segregated from white.

Mendez did NOT find segregated schools unconstitutional (only segregation in the absence of law), and it was NOT a precedent for Brown v. Board at all. Nothing anybody says about this case is true.
