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

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

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
