I am proud to recognize the accomplishments of the pioneer of California Hispanic politics. In his more than 30 years in Congress. from 1963 to 1993. Congressman Roybal opened many doors for immigrants and the less fortunate in this country. but more importantly he also opened many minds. As the first Hispanic to serve in Congress from California since 1879. his leadership was proof that our Nations greatness rests in its diversity. He gave future generations the power to be involved in the democratic process by sponsoring legislation which funded bilingual education and inspired thousands to follow his noble example and enter into public service.
