Civil Rights for Mexican Americans - The First Supreme Court Case

Fernandez versus texas was the first supreme court case related to civil rights for mexican americans. The people doing it weren't being backed by any kind of nation wide legal organization or strategy. Hernandez versus texas continued to be the main precedent in civil rights cases until 19 71, when independent school districts recognized his spanichs as a distinct min ity group. However, the issue that started this whole case, which was the under representation of mexican American on juries continues to be an issue.
