One of the most significant Supreme Court cases in the fight for equality for Mexican Americans was Hernandez v. Texas (1954). In this case, Pete Hernandez, a Mexican American farm worker, was convicted of murder by an all-white jury in Jackson County, Texas. The Supreme Court ruled that Mexican Americans were entitled to equal protection under the 14th Amendment, and that discrimination based on nationality was unconstitutional.

This landmark decision marked the first time that the Supreme Court acknowledged the rights of Mexican Americans as a distinct ethnic group, and set an important precedent for future civil rights battles. It helped to pave the way for greater inclusion and recognition of Mexican Americans in American society, and was a key step in the ongoing fight for equality and social justice for all Americans.
