Title

Loyola Phoenix: "Loyola activists march in Washington"

Description

This article details Loyola University Chicago's Latin American Student Organization's student members' participation in the first ever Latino March held on October 12, 1996. Some students from Loyola University Chicago's Latin American Student Organization took a 13-hour caravan ride to Washington, D.C. to participate in the first ever Latino March over their fall break. While viewing the march as "a springboard toward gaining a greater voice in the political arena" for Hispanics, participants they also pointed out that their propositions were not limited to furthering the interests of the Hispanic community only, but also to further the good of society in general.
