The National Council of La Raza is strongly rooted in Americas civil rights movement of the 1960s and has been a critical force in the advancement of the Hispanic communitys fight to obtain a voice in the public sphere. Thanks to the fine leadership at NCLR by individuals such as current president and CEO Janet Murguia and past president and CEO Raul Yzaguirre. NCLR has much to celebrate. In its 40 years of service in 41 States. Puerto Rico. and the District of Columbia. the National Council of La Raza has worked ardently to provide a much needed Latino perspective in the policy areas of civil rights. immigration. education. employment. health and asset building. In addition. I recognize NCLRs dedication to encouraging civic participation among Hispanics through its voter registration initiatives.
