From Charlie Baker: Would you know or would someone know which schools in Kansas City were specifically just for Mexican Immigrants during the 1930's.  I am sure they were segregated from the rest of the Population.

From the Kansas City, Kansas school district, the first one that comes to mind is Clara Barton. You can read information on this at: http://www.kckps.org/disthistory/closedbuildings/clarabarton.html and http://www.kckps.org/disthistory/closedbuildings/majorhudson.html

Clara Barton School was built as a result of the white and Mexican confrontation at Major Hudson. Clara Barton School was destroyed by the 1951 flood. You will find addition information at:
