Reception to honor Latino civil rights pioneer, Frank P. Hernández, in Dallas, Texas
“When he started practicing law in 1964, Frank P. Hernández was the only Hispanic lawyer doing civil rights litigation in Dallas.
He got busy in a hurry.
At age 26 in 1966, he helped integrate the grand jury in Dallas County.
In the early 1970s, he pushed Sesame Street to remember its Spanish-speaking audience and develop Spanish-surnamed characters. He also announced his candidacy for a seat on the Dallas City Council – the first Latino to do so.”
