The Dr. Hector P. Garcia Memorial Foundation is honored that the next recipient on the Points of Light Monument in Washington, D.C. will be Dr. Hector P. Garcia. Unveiling will be in 2016, and Dr. Garcia will be joining other great recipients that include: Susan B. Anthony, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Clara Barton, Cesar Chavez, Helen Keller and Eunice Kennedy Shriver. The proposed language on the disc that will hold his likeness of this photograph will say: "A true measure of the democratic evolution of our nation is always summed up by the activity of minority groups in political and civic action."
This honor for Dr. Garcia will be treasured by his family, friends and all Americans in the years to come.
