“At 16, Cruz Reynoso stood up for two Hispanics who were denied entry to a school dance, an episode that turned out to be just the beginning of a long career fighting civil rights battles.

Because of his extraordinary contributions to the Hispanic community, Reynoso - who in 1982 became the first Hispanic judge on the California Supreme Court - last week received the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund’s Valerie Kantor Award for Extraordinary Achievement. “*
