|
|
||
| WHEREAS, Univision hosted the dedication of a mural titled | ||
| Una Carta de Amor, a Love Letter to Corpus Christi, Un Homenaje Al | ||
| Mariachi! at its building at 102 Mesquite Street and Coopers Alley | ||
| in Corpus Christi on April 27, 2023; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Painted by local artist La Lisa Hernandez, the | ||
| 1,300-square-foot mural is dedicated to the memory of Walter | ||
| F. Ulloa, Spanish-language media pioneer and visionary, who was | ||
| born on August 14, 1948, and died on December 31, 2022; and | ||
| WHEREAS, After starting his career at Univision's flagship | ||
| television station in Los Angeles, Mr. Ulloa rose quickly in the | ||
| business and launched Entravision; as chair and CEO, he built the | ||
| company into a global media and digital marketing company with over | ||
| 50 television stations, nearly 50 radio stations, and more than | ||
| 4,500 technology and consumer brand clients; it is the largest | ||
| independent broadcaster of Univision-affiliated stations in the | ||
| United States; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Committed to empowering Latinos, Mr. Ulloa worked | ||
| tirelessly to ensure that members of the community could see | ||
| themselves reflected in the media; moreover, he was a mentor to | ||
| countless people in the industry; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mr. Ulloa was also a passionate collector of Chicano | ||
| and Mexican art, and as a patron of individual artists, he strove to | ||
| raise awareness of their creativity and expand their cultural | ||
| influence; it is indeed fitting that Univision should honor the | ||
| memory of this visionary trailblazer by investing in public art | ||
| that will be a source of inspiration for years to come; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commemorate the dedication of the mural Una | ||
| Carta de Amor, a Love Letter to Corpus Christi, Un Homenaje Al | ||
| Mariachi! at the Univision building in Corpus Christi and commend | ||
| all those involved in this outstanding project. | ||
