 During
his extraordinary life, Cruz Reynoso, the son of farm

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. |
