She has a soft voice and a tender smile, but a strong will is what Sister Consuelo Tovar may be most remembered for after she leaves Dallas next week.
As one of the most prominent organizers of the largest march in Dallas’ history, the 60-year-old Catholic nun’s legacy will be felt in the coming years, said many who worked alongside her.
“She was instrumental in not only getting so many people to the march, but also in getting them to register to vote,” said Criminal District Court Judge Lena Levario, who also helped organize the mega-march. “She has a very strong personality and great organizational skills. She’s going to be missed.”"*
