This column highlights
inspiring stories of Latino
leaders. For more than 500
years, Latino men and wom-
en have positively influenced
the face of United States so-
ciety. Let us celebrate these
outstanding hispanics.
Joseph M.
Montoya
At age 21, Joseph M. Mon-
toya became the youngest
member of New Mexico’s
House of Representatives.
Rising quickly through the
ranks, he was elected to
the U.S Congress in 1957
and, in 1964, filled the late
Senator Dennis Chavez’s
seat. Senator Montoya was a
proponent of civil rights and
was committed to preserving
the cultural, linguistic and
ethnic heritage of Latinos. He
worked to pass laws to end
discrimination and improve
Hispanics’ quality of life. Af-
ter 21 years in congress, Sen-
ator Montoya passed away
in 1978. He was nationally
known for investigating Wa-
tergate and is remembered for
his Bilingual Education Act
of 1968 and legislation that
created National Hispanic
Heritage Month.
