Strengthen Educational Opportunity for Latino Youth
Supporting students across Texas who deserve access to better learning resources and mentorship.
Expand Learning Pathways for Young Texans
Bridging gaps through insight gathered in classrooms across Abilene
Latino Culture Texas exists to address the shortage of educational resources for Latino youth across the state. Felix, who grew up in an immigrant farming family, has worked as both a teacher and a principal, and he's dedicated to improving education for children in Texas. His goal is to share knowledge and perspective that help young learners overcome barriers and build meaningful futures.
The platform offers articles, historical reflections, and practical resources tailored to students who've faced limited opportunities. You'll find content that examines the role of Tejano heritage in Texas history, including the complex legacy that followed the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and the choices given to Tejanos during a pivotal time. Felix explores how education became a lower priority for many indigenous and mestizo populations, resulting in challenges that persist today. His writing aims to fill those gaps with context and encouragement for those navigating similar circumstances in communities like Abilene.
The site serves as both a blog and a hub where students, families, and educators can access information that might otherwise remain out of reach. Every piece of content reflects a commitment to honoring cultural identity while advocating for stronger educational support across Texas.
