Who is Johnny N. Mata?

Johnny N Mata, is a legend!
He has fought for civil rights for decades. At 86 years young, Johnny N Mata continues to be recognized as a living Hispanic Civil Rights advocate and leader since the tragic Jose Campos Torres drowning on May 5, 1977, while under the care and custody of a few unscrupulous Houston Police Officers. Under the umbrella of LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens), a Hispanic Civil Rights organization established February 17, 1929. Under the leadership of Mamie Garcia as LULAC District 8 Director in 1977, Johnny was appointed as LULAC District 8's Civil Rights Director. Since then through the present day, Johnny N Mata continues to effectively advocate social injustices predominately against members of the Hispanic Community within Judicial, Economic, Academic, and Political arenas for almost 50 years. Presently, Johnny N Mata, continues to serve as Director, Greater Houston Coalition for Justice, a diversified civic and social organization addressing today's inequities and advocating economic and social programs.
