A Tribute to our Founder
In tribute to our founder, Oscar S. Wyatt, Jr., the very first Lifetime Achievement Award from the first chapter of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) was awarded to him, at age 99, during their annual banquet in South Texas. The below video was shown at the presentation in Corpus Christi, Texas in the fall of 2024.

In their coverage of event, the local ABC News affiliate reported to their television audience, "The greatest honor of the night, the "Lifetime Achievement Award for Humanitarianism and Civil Rights," was awarded to 99-year-old Oscar Wyatt of Wyatt Ranches. LULAC recognized Wyatt as one of the first ranchers in South Texas to embrace racial integration in the 1960s, as well as a firm supporter of racial equity in the workplace and a longtime friend of fellow civil rights advocate Dr. Hector P. Garcia."
