URL: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/class/

Description:
Companion to a PBS American Experience dramatic film about how "a team of unknown Mexican American lawyers took the case, Hernandez v. Texas, all the way to the Supreme Court, where they successfully challenged Jim Crow-style discrimination against Mexican Americans," interweaving the story "within the broader story of a civil rights movement that is still very much alive today." Watch the film online, read the transcript, and find teacher's resources.
