Alvarez vs. the Board of Trustees of the Lemon Grove (California) School District
This is the first successful school desegregation court case in the United States. The local court forbids the school district from placing Mexican-American children in a separate "Americanization" school.

The court played a big part because people need to follow the rules which can change the public's mind by the time they follow the rules. -
The Civil Rights Act
This is a really big move that it became a law that prohibits discrimination based on race, color, sex, religion or national origin. This protects all the people under one umbrella and they can have equal rights in their social life and of course education. Also, people can have the awareness of equality among all the race, sex, color, religion and national oringin. -

I think this is relevant because the diversity among students with disabilities in the normal school is hard for teacher and parents, so this can help students and parents meet their needs while learning in a safe environment. -
