The American GI Forum of Texas was organized in Dallas, TX on September 29, 1954, and is primarily made up of Mexican-American Veterans who banded together to stamp out discrimination against Mexican-Americans and to seek justice and equality for everyone. The group expanded to other cities and states. This group sponsored back to school groups for the Mexican-American and handicapped children. They provided the elementary children with school lunches, provided scholarships to worthy students and tried to make improvements in the educational facilities. The file consists of letters and bulletins concerning the organization. It is not an investigative file on the organization.
