MONUMENT HONORED MENDEZ DECISION PROPOSED

The creation of a permanent monument to the historic Mendez vs. Westminster school desegregation case will be on the agenda for Tuesday night’s meeting of the Westminster City Council.

Councilman Sergio Contreras is proposing that the city approve such a monument, have city staff find the right location, and organize the design and fund-raising for such a tribute.

The city has already applied for funding for “The Mendez Historic Trail and Green Street Bikeway Project,” and such a monument could be located there. The monument would be similar to those currently in place and proposed for Sid Goldstein Freedom Park.

The council meets at 7 p.m. in its chambers at 8200 Westminster Blvd.
