SAN DIEGO (CN) As a student at Gompers Junior High in San Diego during the Civil Rights Movement, San Diego Superior Court Judge Randa Trapp had to learn using books that were falling apart.
“This was back in day when you got your book it had a card in the front or a slip of paper and that’s how you knew it was your book. By the time we got our books that little slip was all filled up. Our books were old and tattered we wanted the same quality of education as the kids in other communities,” Trapp said in a phone interview.
