Paper Flower Tutorial
Court cases start over something as simple as not being service cake. Not being able to sit where you want on the bus. The truth is, YOU and so many others in our communities contribute to the freedoms we experience every day. The truth is WE make history ever day through our acts of PEACE...and there are people whose name we may never see in history books that make our freedoms possible every day.
Random Act of Mendez intends to honor and celebrate those every day actions of PEACE.
Make a simple paper flower and give it to
a person you catch doing a
Random Act of Mendez - an act of PEACE.
You can celebrate every day, but particular dates are:
-
April 14 Ninth Circuit Court Decision in favor of the Mendez Plaintiffs in 1947
-
June 14 Then-California Governor Earl Warren signed legislation ending the segregation of American Indians and Asians.
