So, today at the Mexican-American Studies class at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, we had a discussion about the novel GIANT, written by Edna Ferber. The class was unaware that Dr. Hector Garcia, assisted Ms. Ferber in her travels around Texas for her to have a realistic view of the State. Based on the King Ranch, the movie produced in 1956 represents a "Texas today, but hopes of Texas tomorrow".

The Dr. Hector P. Garcia Memorial Foundation is honored to announce that Dr. Cissy Reynolds-Perez has been selected as our Keynote Speaker for our Signature Luncheon, which will be held on January 29, 2027 at the OMNI Corpus Christi Hotel.

The theme will be "Education is Our Future" as Dr. Perez has exhibited throughout her career as an advocate, teacher, Legislative Liaison, and superintendent which reflects the goals of the Foundation.

Dr. Perez is a graduate of TAMUK, and earned her Doctoral Degree at TAMUCC. Serving many years in education, she has successfully advanced education for those in need, and has been instrumental in the passage of legislation that affected our students in Texas.

Please join me in congratulating Dr. Perez.
