I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker. House Resolution 721 recognizes the 60th anniversary of the Mendez v. Westminster School District decision which ended segregation of Mexican and Mexican American students in California schools and honors the Mendez family. I want to commend the gentleman from Texas for introducing this important resolution. which I am proud to cosponsor. As the daughter of Mexican immigrants. this decision has special meaning for me. Like the parents in the 53. Pt. 20 October 22. 2007 Mendez case. my parents understood the importance of education in the realization of the American Dream.
