Resource: Sandoval v. Alexander

By: Southern Poverty Law Center

June 3, 1998

Mexican immigrant Martha Sandoval was unable to obtain a valid Alabama driver's license because she did not speak English well enough to take the test - offered only in English. On behalf of Martha and thousands like her, the Center and two other civil rights organizations sued the Department of Pubic Safety for discrimination.
