Resolution
To Include Hispanics’
Accomplishments in Textbooks
BE IT RESOLVED that Gelena Park
Council #4703 of the League of United Latin
American Citizens supports the teachings of the
contributions made by Hispanics (by which we
mean Mexicans, Tejanos and other Spanish
settlers). More specifically, we wish that their
contributions in the development of Texas
history be included in text books from K-12th
grade. Enough research has now been done to
include pertinent passages of the contributions
of the Hispanics. We encourage the Texas State
legislature and the Texas State Board of
Education to pursue the project with utmost
urgency so that the future textbooks will
reflect the truth about our involvement in Texas
history and the American dream.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,
to help any state agency or organization,
including the Texas Association of School
Boards, if it so desires to assist us in this
matter, to make the teaching contributions of
Hispanics to the development of Texas and the
United States a priority!
