* Ignacio Garcia, author of United We Win: The Rise and Fall of La Raza Unida Party, says that LRU’s call for collective (rather than individual-based) upward mobility “is now very prominent among Latino politicians, who talk about la familia and ‘We do it as a family.’”

* From August 30 to September 3, 2012 in El Paso, Texas, LRU held a reunion conference commemorating the party’s 40th anniversary. Among the attendees were Mario Compean and José Ángel Gutiérrez.
