In Hernandez v. State of Texas (1954), the United States Supreme Court ruled that Mexican Americans and other racial minorities were entitled to the equal protection of the laws under the 14th Amendment. The court also recognized that Latinos, although classified as white according to the U.S. census, were a "class apart" and suffered discrimination on the basis of their "class," or ethnic background. This landmark case laid the groundwork for future civil rights activism among Chicano and Latino communities.
