Virtual Rally to Honor Heroes - Encore Streaming
Join in! | Renaming Our Nation's Military Bases
In 1948, President Harry Truman signed executive Order 9981 which required the government to desegregate the military. The order also led to the establishment of the President’s Committee on Equality of Treatment and Opportunity in the Armed Services. This past Sunday, LULAC joined Citizens Against Intolerance in premiering the video stream of a virtual rally. Its purpose was to highlight our combined commitment to reflecting our country’s diversity within the military. Let’s transform America’s historical focus away from symbols that promote racial subjugation and inequality.
Take a moment and watch the stream at LULAC.org/heroes/live.
Speakers include:
- Troy E. Mosley, CEO of Citizens Against Intolerance
- Sindy Benavides, CEO of LULAC
- Dawn and Richard Collins Jr., from the Richard Collins III Foundation
- Carl Snowden, Founder of Caucus of African American Leaders
- Brigadier General (R) Ty Seidule, Chamberlain Fellow from Hamilton College
