California LULAC--The League of United Latin American Citizens
| LULAC Historia en California y en el E.E.U.U. In California, LULAC was originally founded as the United Spanish American Workers of America and subsequently affiliated nationally with LULAC. Click here to see California LULAC's Articles of Incorporation dating from 1939 Amongst CA LULAC's many achievements was the Mendez decision from Orange County, which formed the basis the better known Brown v Board of Education Supreme Court decision outlawing racial segregation in education. When the United States annexed a third of Mexico's territory following the Mexican War, nearly 77,000 Mexicans became U.S. Citizens. These new citizens were systematically discriminated against, denied voting rights, excluded from decent jobs or a good education and subjected to unprovoked physical violence. The sign, "No Mexicans Allowed" was to be found everywhere. Latino Americans responded by building a strong tradition of self-determination. Service organizations were started to champion Latino rights and in 1929, a number of these groups met in Corpus Christi, Texas and merged into a single self-help organization, the League of United Latin American Citizens. LULAC councils spread throughout Texas, and into 45 states across the country. As LULAC grew , so did our achievements. LULAC-sponsored lawsuits resulted in landmark court decisions abolishing Latino school segregation and guaranteeing Latinos the right to sit on juries. LULAC's "Little Schools of the 400" became the model for the enormously successful Headstart program. We have trained and found jobs for thousands of Latinos, built housing for thousands more, provided 5 million in scholarship aid to Latino students, launched programs for youth, women, the elderly and the disabled and reached out in cooperative alliance with corporate America. |
