During
his extraordinary life, Cruz Reynoso, the son of farm
workers who became the first Latino to be appointed to
the California Supreme Court, has been one of those rare
individuals who are not only shaped by history — they
make history.“Sowing
the Seeds of Justice” paints a portrait of Cruz Reynoso,
a man who felt the sting of injustice as a child growing up in
Orange County, and later, as a lawyer, judge and teacher, who fought
for over five decades to eradicate discrimination and inequality
for all. |
