This History of Hispanic Heritage Month

Hispanic Heritage Month is a celebration of the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded to a month by President Ronald Reagan in 1988. It is celebrated annually from September 15-October 15.

The date September 15 was chosen as it is the anniversary of independence for five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September 18 respectively. The month-long celebration allows Americans to learn about and take pride in the accomplishments of Hispanic and Latino Americans.

From politicians and athletes to entertainers and businesspeople, Hispanic Americans have made significant contributions to our country and its history. By celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, we can all appreciate the richness of our nation's diversity.
