"It just makes me so proud because after the case was won and my father did so much, we lost all our money. He lost everything trying to fight this case., 'Gracias, Gonzalo. Thank you for what you've done,' and I think this is it," Mendez said.
"They're monumental in the history of America and the United States of what they accomplished. They were the beginning of opening up equality in education, doing away with the segregation," Gomez said.
