those lawsuits had not been filed in the first place?
What about the lawsuit after the closing of Thompson Jr. High and the subsequent building of Cavazos Middle School? Why were those necessary?
Were not all these efforts partly based on the needs of a minority segment of our city?
Who was out there leading the legal battles if it wasn’t people from the Hispanic community?
The reality is that skin color was part of the equation then and it is still now; and a historical reality in this city. Although, we like to think that we have progressed to the point where it is based more on cultural similarities and a desire to have qualified elected officials who can relate to the community and vice versa.
There are many people who have gone before us who would be extremely disappointed with this situation. Instead of going forward; our community seems to be going backward.
And the only way to right the ship is for voters in District 1 to make sure they go to the polls, remember how we got to this point, and cast their vote to return Victor Hernandez to the Lubbock City Council.
Our hope is that Mr. Hernandez will start to repair the damage this situation has done in District 1’s Hispanic community and move forward to more important issues.
