LULAC History

The League of United Latin American Citizens ( LULAC ) is the largest, oldest, and one of the most influential organizations representing the Hispanic community. LULAC was formed in 1929 in Corpus Christi, Texas when the Corpus Christi chapter of the Order Sons of America, the Order Knights of America of San Antonio, and the League of Latin American Citizens of South Texas merged. Throughout the decades, LULAC has worked to advocate equal opportunity for Hispanics in government, law, education, and business.

LULAC 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.
