U.S. Rep. Jimmy Gomez stated, "This courthouse will serve as a lasting tribute to their civil rights advocacy and the enduring Latino American legacy in our nation's history." This highlights the importance of recognizing the contributions of Latino Americans in the fight for civil rights as a fundamental part of the U.S. narrative.
Gomez expressed his admiration for the Mendez couple, saying they had the courage to fight school segregation and ensure equality across the U.S. This commemorates their significant role and bravery in challenging discriminatory practices in education.
Sylvia Mendez remarked, "I could have never imagined that one day there would be a law honoring my parents and the four other brave families' fight for equality," reflecting the profound impact and legacy of their actions against segregation.
