Join Us in Celebrating Hispanic & LatinX Heritage
Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates the myriad of cultures within Latin and Spanish-speaking countries, and the contributions of those peoples to America. America itself has the second-largest Spanish-speaking population of any country in the world, smaller only than Mexico.
