Hispanic Heritage Month

NATIONAL HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

SEPTEMBER 15 - OCTOBER 15

Every year National Hispanic Heritage Month is observed and celebrated by Americans across the nation. The celebration began in 1968, under President Lyndon B. Johnson, and was made a month long celebration in 1988 by the U.S. Congress. Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates the contributions of Hispanic Americans to the country at the same time Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Belize celebrate their independence.

Hispanic Heritage Month is a wonderful opportunity to recognize Hispanic culture and to celebrate the achievements of Hispanic Americans who have had a great influence on America. Generations of Hispanic Americans have enriched our nation by making contributions in science, education, the arts and politics.
