Lorraine Lee Service Award
About Lorraine Lee
Updated: 4/1/18 
The Pueblo Community honors the legacy of Lorraine Lee (Pueblo Class of '74). A champion of those marginalized by society, Lee's leadership improved our community for all people.
"Lee rallied interest on issues related to immigration, wages and education; spoke out against racism; worked to create affordable housing for the elderly, the poor and minority people", said Tucson City Court Judge Margarita Bernal who met Lee in college.
Lee grew up as a biracial child on the south side not feeling fully accepted. Lee graduated from Pueblo High School, the University of Arizona, and then went on to receive a master's degree in urban planning at UCLA.
It was at Chicanos Por La Causa (a social service agency) where Ms. Lee became the champion of the poor who would hold those in power accountable for providing needed services.
In an era of greed and excess that has threatened our very economy it is refreshing to reflect on Lorraine Lee's works and words. "We want what everybody else wants - food on our table, a roof over our heads and a better future for our children." We are inspired by Lorraine Lee to continue her pursuit for social justice through community activism.
"She cannot be duplicated": Courageous to the point of fearlessness, Lorraine Lee had a vision and the verve to see it fulfilled.
