Our History
Founded in 1929, the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) has been at the forefront of civil rights advocacy for Hispanic Americans. From its inception in Corpus Christi, Texas, LULAC has grown into a powerful voice for the Hispanic community, championing issues such as education, employment, and political representation. Key milestones include the landmark case of Mendez v. Westminster, which paved the way for the desegregation of schools, and the establishment of the LULAC National Educational Service Centers, which provide educational resources and scholarships to Hispanic students. Over the decades, LULAC has played a crucial role in advancing the rights and opportunities for Hispanic Americans, making significant strides in areas such as voting rights, healthcare access, and economic empowerment.
LULAC’s impact extends beyond advocacy; it has fostered a sense of community and pride among Hispanic Americans. The organization’s efforts have led to the creation of numerous programs and initiatives aimed at improving the quality of life for Hispanics in the United States. From voter registration drives to health fairs, LULAC’s work is rooted in the belief that every individual deserves the opportunity to succeed. Today, LULAC continues to be a beacon of hope and a catalyst for change, inspiring new generations to carry forward its mission of equality and justice.
