EDCI | McCormick | Jennifer | Professor Chris Endy, Ben DeLeon, Mendez High School, 826 L.A. | During the 2014-2015 school year, I collaborated with Chris Endy, Department of History at CSULA , Ben De Leon, Mendez High School, and 826LA on the 2015 Young Author’s Book Project. As part of the project, high school students analyzed primary documents related to the Mendez case, studied the struggles waged in the 40s for Latino political representation and discussed youth activism through the lens of the East L.A. Walkouts. Students subsequently wrote about their experiences with racial segregation and interviewed local activists and scholars. Their work was compiled and published as a book that has since been recognized by civil rights advocates and the nation’s current poet laureate. The 2015 Young Author’s Book Project, “We Are Alive When We Speak for Justice,” was reviewed in the Los Angeles Review of Books in June, 2015: https://lareviewofbooks.org/essay/mendez-on-mendez-high-school-students-in-boyle-heights-write-about-the-desegregation-case-after-which-their-school-is-named/ |
