|
|
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. |
