Final Note: The Lemon Grove Historical Society worked extensively with famed children’s author Larry Dane Brimner on his new book, Without Separation (Calkins Creek 2021), illustrated by Maya Gonzalez, and author-illustrator Christy Hale on her bilingual book, Todos Iguales/All Equal (Lee & Lowe 2019), both available in our Parsonage Museum gift shop and suitable for ages eight and older. Both ringingly address the nation’s first Hispanic school desegregation case in the U. S. Lemon Grove’s parents stood up for their children and we are proud of them and of our schools, which became the forward-thinking district it is today.
