Auditorium Dedicated To Desegregation Pioneer
In 1931, Lemon Grove Grammar School principal Jerome Green, acting under instructions from school trustees, turned away Mexican children at the schoolhouse door and ordered them to the Mexican only school/barn. Some of the Mexican children turned away spoke English only and not Spanish. The landmark lawsuit resulting from the "Lemon Grove Incident" became the first successful school desegregation court decision in the history of the United States.
On March 7, 2007, the Lemon Grove Middle School auditorium, which is on the site of the former grammar school, was dedicated in the honor of Roberto Alvarez, the lead plaintiff in the court case.
