History

LULAC members are the driving force behind significant advancements and improvements to the quality of life for Hispanics across the country Since LULAC’s founding, our members have not wavered in their determination to end discrimination and injustice for Hispanics living in the United States. LULAC has developed national and community-based programs to address the needs of the Hispanic community and to ensure that this nation’s workforce obtains the necessary education and skills to keep America productive.
