Hector Perez Garcia founded which organization?

• A. American GI Forum
• B. United Farm Workers
• C. NAACP
• D. ACLU

Answer: (A)

Starting with the main idea: this question focuses on identifying the organization founded by Hector Perez Garcia to advocate for veterans’ rights. Garcia established the American GI Forum in 1948 to address the inequities Mexican American veterans faced in accessing benefits, education, and public services after World War II. He mobilized veterans to demand fair treatment, push for full GI Bill benefits, and combat segregation in hospitals and schools, using veterans as a powerful platform for civil rights.

The United Farm Workers were organized by Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta to improve wages and conditions for farmworkers, not by Garcia. The NAACP is a long-standing civil rights organization founded by various leaders to address racial injustice more broadly, not tied to Garcia’s veteran-focused movement. The ACLU is a legal defense group protecting civil liberties, established by different founders with a broader remit.
