Honoring Important Figures

This year, the march will be led by two remarkable grand marshals: retired US Air Force Colonel Gil Coronado and Teresa Chávez Delgado, the granddaughter of the legendary civil rights leader César Chávez. Gil Coronado, a trailblazer for the establishment of Hispanic Heritage Month back in the late 1980s, is a proud alum of Lanier High School. Meanwhile, Teresa, who made headlines at just four years old during a grape boycott in 1974, has dedicated her life to education and activism, currently teaching in California.
