On January 13, 1983, Deborah Johnson and Zandra Rolón went to Papa Choux restaurant in Los Angeles for a romantic dinner. Little did they know that their desire to dine in one of the restaurant’s booths would lead to a landmark civil rights case, Rolón v. Kulwitzky. And in the pursuit of justice, some cases transcend the courtroom, shaping history and shifting the cultural landscape.
