A touching virtual ceremony for the groundbreaking of a new park to commemorate a 1947 court decision that paved the way for the desegregation of California schools was held in Westminster on Oct. 13.
The city of Westminster and the Orange County Department of Education hosted the online event, which featured an artist’s rendering of the park, which will include a monument to the Mendez family, which fought to open schools to all children in the county.
