DICE Master Class Session With Sylvia Mendez

Rutgers University-Camden Division of Diversity, Inclusion and Civic Engagement welcomes civil rights activist Sylvia Mendez as keynote in the October DICE Master Class speaker series. 

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, Sylvia Mendez will facilitate a master class that highlights her pivotal experience at the young age of nine, as an instrumental part of the landmark Mendez v. Westminster School District (1947) lawsuit that paved the way for Brown v. Board of Education (1954) and ended school segregation in California.
