Tonight’s episode of the PBS series “American Experience” will focus on the landmark yet little-known case of Hernandez v. Texas.
The 1954 civil rights case was ruled upon by the Supreme Court two weeks before Brown v. Board of Education. The unanimously ruling by the court found that the 14th Amendment protects all racial classes including Mexican-Americans in this case.
In case you miss the episode- entitled “A Class Apart”- you can also view it online. The following video is a brief trailer of the episode.
