LITTLE ROCK, AR -- LULAC Young Adults and LULAC Youth went back to the place that inspired a nation, Central High School, to “Speak Out” against anti-

by breaking down the barriers of segregation and enrolling nine African-American students in its school more that 50 years ago. On Thursday, June 30 the same dream was revived.

Among the speaker were, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rainbow Push Coalition, Hector Flores, National President of LULAC, Brent Wilkes, Executive Director, LULAC, Gabriela Lemus, Director of Policy and Legislation, LULAC, Rep. Joyce Elliot, Arkansas, Sen. Hank Wilkes, Arkansas, Rep. Roberto Alonzo, Texas, Rep. Norma Chavez, Texas, Joe Cardenas, National VP for Young Adults, LULAC, Javier Montañez, National VP for Youth, LULAC, Patricia Campos, Legislative Director, UNITE HERE.
