LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens) challenged segregation in public schools by advocating for equal educational opportunities for Latino students. They brought legal cases, such as the landmark 1946 case Mendez v. Westminster, which successfully contested school segregation in California, arguing it violated the 14th Amendment. LULAC also organized community efforts and lobbied for policy changes to ensure that Latino students received the same quality of education as their white counterparts, thus playing a crucial role in the broader civil rights movement.
