Very few people driving by the abandoned building outside downtown Houston would know that inside those walls lives a history that redefined Mexican-American civil rights in the U.S. The building is finally getting major recognition. The historic clubhouse of one of the most influential chapters of the League of United Latin American Citizens, known as LULAC, has been designated a National Treasure by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. LULAC's Council 60 clubhouse outside Houston, Texas has been designated a National Treasure for its storied civil rights past. The place was a hub of Latino political and social mobilization, and its guests included Pres. John F. Kennedy. LULAC is the nation's oldest Latino civic engagement and civil rights group.
