“Leon Eguia, one of the first Hispanics to become firefighters in the Houston Fire Department and a former president of LULAC Council No. 60, died Sunday in a Houston hospital. He was 86.

Eguia’s interest in the League of United Latin American Citizens developed after he encountered prejudice upon returning to Texas after serving as a paratrooper in World War II.”*
