East Palo Alto is a small, poor, and predominantly minority city located in the heart of the Silicon Valley and next door to the affluent Palo Alto. It was here, in the 1960s, that a young mother, barely educated herself, organized the Sneak Out program. The program secretly sent African-American children to live with white families in Palo Alto so they could attend better schools. As with most rebellions, this one came with sacrifices. To really understand the passion behind this act of civil disobedience in California, we go back in time recalling an era in the deep south, when few people cared that separate was unequal.
