OUR Mission The Mission of the League of United Latin American Citizens is to advance the economic condition, educational attainment, political influence, health and civil rights of the Hispanic population of the United States. Since its inception on February 17, 1929, LULAC has championed the cause of Latinos in the United States and Puerto Rico. When LULAC was formed, Hispanics attended segregated schools, restaurants and public facilities; could not serve on juries; were often denied the right to vote; had their lands routinely taken from them; and were the objects of racially motivated lynchings throughout the southwest. “When LULAC was created in 1929,” stated Hector M. Flores, LULAC National President “it was a very difficult time for Latinos in the United States. Our first priority was to insist on equal treatment for our people under the law and to help our community to excel in school and in their careers. Seventy-five years later, we can look back and say we have made tremendous progress, but we know there is still much work to be done.” UT-Dallas LULAC We have achieve many things things in the past years.
