“The Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) is mourning the loss of one of the founding members, Congressman Edward Roybal (CA-25), who passed away Monday evening from pneumonia. In 1978, Congressman Roybal was a founder and the first chairman of the Board of CHCI, a nonprofit and nonpartisan educational organization serving to increase the opportunities for Hispanics to participate in and contribute to the American political system. After hosting a small fundraising dinner for Latino youth in 1977, the founders moved forward to formalize the Institute. Today CHCI services over 500,000 students, parents, and educators annually, and is nationally recognized for its unmatched Latino leadership development programs.
“Congressman Roybal was a visionary leader who paved the way for so many of us. His tireless pursuit to empower the underserved — minorities, the elderly, the physically-challenged and in particular, Hispanics — is deep- rooted in our mission and guides each of us. His legacy is very much with us,” remarked CHCI Chairwoman, Hon. Grace F. Napolitano (CA-38).”
