WHAT IS LULAC?
The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC)
LULAC is the oldest and largest Latin American civil rights group in the United States. It was established in 1929, in Corpus Christi, Texas, largely by Hispanic veterans of World War I who sought to end ethnic discrimination against Latinos in the United States. The goal of LULAC is to advance the economic condition, educational attainment, the political influence, housing, health, and civil rights of Hispanic people who are United States citizens.
