LULAC was founded in 1929, in a time where basic civil and human rights were denied for Hispanics in the USA. It is the oldest and most respected Hispanic civil rights organization in the country. Its purpose is to empower their members to create and develop opportunities where they are most needed.
Throughout the 20th century, the LULAC intervened on different segregation and xenophobic cases to obtain equal educational opportunities and full access to political processes for all Hispanics.
Today, they still hold citizen awareness sessions, seminars on language & immigration issues and raise scholarship money, among many other activities.
