"I think the thing that has gotten me going is discrimination. I tried to be equal to, and as good as, the Anglos. I wanted to make as much money, speak as well, and have all the goodies as the dominant society. But no matter what I did, I was always a 'Mexican'.
-Julian Samora
"What is at stake is human dignity. If a man is not accorded respect he cannot respect himself and if he does not respect himself, he cannot demand it."
-Cesar Chavez

The Lansing Latino Health Alliance serves as advocates for Latinos in the Greater Lansing area by increasing the awareness of health disparities and inequities. It is our goal to raise the awareness of the effects ignoring the root causes of these inequities has on the community. By partnering with other agencies and groups we will make an impact on the community and increase the opportunities presented to Latinos in the area of education and employment in health related fields.
