Uribe was one of the multiple Latino community leaders along with 500 other educational activists that helped bring down the barrier of discrimination that kept Latinos from enrolling at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) in the Summer of 1970. Uribe along with Jesús Salas, Ernesto Chacon, the late Marla O. Anderson, the late Roberto Hernández, the late Salvador Sánchez, and the late Dante Navarro including other educational leaders and activists took over the UWM chancellor's office on August 27, 1970 seeking higher education for Latinos/as. In 1970, only 12 Latinos/as were enrolled at the university, according to UW-Milwaukee. Their success to bring down the barrier of discrimination led to the creation of the Spanish Speaking Outreach Institute, which later was renamed the Roberto Hernández Center at UWM.
