During the Mexican-American civil rights movement, the Council 60 Clubhouse was a meeting place for social and political groups.
In 1929, the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) was founded in response to racial discrimination. The LULAC held meetings at the clubhouse for nearly 60 years.
This clubhouse played a significant role during the most active years of the Latino Civil Rights Movement during the 1950s and 60s.
Advocates are working to preserve this historic site and designate it as a local landmark.
