Latino Americans: Hector P. García

Héctor P. García was an especially effective and significant advocate for civil rights in the United States.

Founder of the activist organization the American GI Forum, García emphasized that securing rights such as voting, serving in the military, and receiving a good education would elevate the status of Latinos and grant them the broader civil rights to which all Americans are entitled.
