Dear to whom this is concerning, I am here by writing this essay to explain, how these organizations in the United States such as the MADD, LULAC, and NAACP can educate and help our fellow citizens of America change laws that might well need to be changed.

It was created to combat the discrimination that Hispanics face in the United States. Established February 17, 1930 in Corpus Christi, Texas, LULAC was a consolidation of smaller, like-minded civil rights groups already in existence. Since its creation, the organization has grown it has a national headquarters, active councils in many states, and a professional staff.
