Miami, Fl.- On Tuesday October 24th, Agustin "Gus" Garcia of Miami, Fl., graduate of Kean University in Union, New Jersey (1980), Founding Father of Lambda Theta Phi National Latin Fraternity and National Chair of both Lambda Theta Phi Foundation will be begin a three day speaking tour that will cover several colleges and universities in New Jersey.
The purpose of this tour is to motivate students, especially the Latino student population to vote and promote absentee voting among the campus population plus their families and neighbors. Among the campuses he will be speaking at are William Paterson University, Montclair State, Ramapo College, Kean University and Rutgers University in New Brunswick, other campuses are being added. Numerous campus organizations are sponsoring his presentations.
When asked regarding this rapid three day tour of New Jersey campuses and what it will it accomplish, Mr. Garcia stated," This is an important moment for this great nation. Will the compassion of this nation be summed up in the fear of 9/11 or in the great values of brotherhood and respect for freedom that generations of Americans have fought and died for? Will we forget where are forefathers came from and lock our minds and souls up in the politics of hatred for all outside of our borders? No man is an island and no one nation can become an island behind a wall of fear. Young Americans will as always become the judges of this great society and it's champions for justice. And thus by my words I hope to motivate our next generation of leaders that we begin to lead by leading our people to the ballot box. Thus no individual can say, "I speak for the people without their mandate and discriminate against people for the color of their skin or because their parents were not born on this side of their wall before it was built."
