Everything about The League Of United Latin American Citizens totally explained
The
League of United Latin American Citizens (
LULAC) is a
political advocacy group for
Latinos in the
United States. Founded in
1929 in
Corpus Christi,
Texas, LULAC is the nation's oldest
Hispanic advocacy organization. According to its website, LULAC has "approximately 115,000 members throughout the United States and
Puerto Rico," which it claims also makes it the nation's largest Hispanic organization. The current president is Rosa Rosales. The last
president was Hector M. Flores.
History
LULAC was the lead plaintiff in the
U.S. Supreme Court case
Hernandez v. Texas. In its landmark decision, the
Warren court decided that
Mexican Americans were a distinct ethnic group and were thus guaranteed
equal protection under the
Fourteenth Amendment to the
United States Constitution.
According to the LULAC website,
"The mission of LULAC is to advance the economic condition, educational attainment, political influence, health and civil rights of Hispanic Americans through community-based programs operating at more than 700 LULAC councils nationwide. The organization involves and serves all Hispanic nationality groups.".
Ezequiel D. Salinas was a national LULAC president, the first person from heavily Hispanic
Laredo, Texas, to head the organization. During the
1940s and
1950s, he worked to establish LULAC chapters in parts of Texas where none had previously existed. He was an early advocate of civil rights for Mexican Americans.
Notable supporters
LULAC doesn't endorse candidates in a political nature to their membership or the public-at-large.
