WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize the League of United Latin American Citizens on the | ||
occasion of its 90th anniversary, which is being celebrated | ||
during National LULAC Week, February 17 through 23, 2019; and | ||
WHEREAS, LULAC was founded on February 17, 1929, in Corpus | ||
Christi, to champion the cause of Hispanic Americans in | ||
education, employment, economic development, and civil rights; | ||
it has become the oldest, largest, and most successful Hispanic | ||
civil rights and service organization in the country; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through the years, LULAC has developed a broad | ||
range of nationwide programs designed to address such issues as | ||
educational attainment, job training, housing, citizenship, and | ||
voter registration; and | ||
WHEREAS, The organization has developed a legislative | ||
platform that promotes humanitarian relief for citizens and | ||
immigrants, increased educational opportunities for young | ||
people, and equal treatment for all citizens; local LULAC | ||
councils across the country have enjoyed great success in | ||
implementing this agenda; and | ||
WHEREAS, For 90 years, LULAC has been a leader in the | ||
nation's journey to live up to its ideals, and it is truly fitting | ||
that the organization receive special recognition as it reaches | ||
this milestone in its history; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend the members of the League of United | ||
Latin American Citizens on their commitment to social justice and | ||
equal rights and extend to all best wishes on the occasion of | ||
LULAC's 90th anniversary celebration; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for the | ||
organization as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. | ||
