The National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the largest Latino advocacy organization, is changing its name to UnidosUS.
The change was announced by NCLR during its
annual conference in Arizona, where it traces its roots. NCLR President
and CEO Janet Murguía was expected to officially announce the change in a
speech scheduled for Monday night, July 10, 2017.
Unidos, which translates to united, is meant
to show unity among Latino communities but also help NCLR transform into
a group that joins all communities, according to Murguía. The
Spanish word with US attached was intended to make sure "people
understand we are an American institution."
