{"product_id":"sylvia-aki-9781582463452","title":"Sylvia \u0026 Aki","description":"Young Sylvia Mendez never expected to be at the center of a landmark legal battle. Young Aki Munemitsu never expected to be sent away from her home and her life as she knew it. The two girls definitely never expected to know each other, until their lives intersected on a Southern California farm in a way that changed the country forever. Who are Sylvia and Aki? And why did their family stories matter then and still matter today? This book reveals the remarkable, never-before-told story--based on true events--of Mendez vs. Westminster School District, the California court case that desegregated schools for Latino children and set the stage for Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education at the national level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yearling Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/09\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781582463452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 151\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.50h x 5.20w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e144851 \/ Sylvia \u0026amp; Aki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.2 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 4\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Winifred Conkling","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36660566917276,"sku":"9781582463452","price":6.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_3326b9b2-9bb5-4645-a986-1f4ab29bf96c.jpg?v=1603897015","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/sylvia-aki-9781582463452","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
