When Social Security began, agricultural and domestic workers were excluded from early coverage.
Those jobs included many Black workers.

Policy moves through time. So do its consequences.

Mendez Tribute Monument Park opens in Westminster, highlighting the county's role in early school desegregation A dedication in Westminster opened the Mendez Tribute Monument Park honoring Sylvia Mendez and her parents; speakers said the 1947 Mendez v. Westminster case helped end school segregation in California and influenced Brown v. Board of Education. The park includes large statues, interpretive panels and multilingual audio via QR codes.

A new park in Westminster honors the legacy of the Mendez family, whose landmark case paved the way for desegregation in California schools and inspired future civil rights movements.
