Can an eight-year-old girl make a difference? Learn how at that age Sylvia Méndez became the face of the landmark case to desegregate California schools to Latinx children in the 1940s and inspired people of all ages to fight for change. La llamada de Sylvia Méndez mixes powerful poetry, charming music, and a moving story in a testament to integrity, inclusion, and friendship.


Una entretenida obra que promueve la diversidad y la tolerancia a través de la historia de la maestra de escuela elemental Sylvia Méndez, quién luchó por eliminar la segregación educativa en California, allanando el camino hacia la prohibición de escuelas segregadas en los Estados Unidos. Por su legado y valentía, Méndez recibió en el 2011 la Medalla Presidencial de la Libertad del Presidente Obama por su activismo en pro de oportunidades educativas para todos los niños sin distinción.
