What’s Hispanic Heritage Month?

National Hispanic Heritage Month is a time when we recognize and acknowledge Hispanic contributions to the United States.

It was established by legislation sponsored by Rep. Edward R Roybal in 1968. It was only for a week, and thanks to Ronald Reagan in 1988, it was covered for a 30-day period.

Why start Hispanic Heritage Month on September 15th?

The date September 15th was chosen because it is the Independence Day of five Latin American countries:

  • El Salvador
  • Costa Rica
  • Nicaragua
  • Guatemala
  • Honduras

Other Latin American countries have their independence days in September as well.

Recently many people recognized Hispanic Heritage Month for contributions and getting to know people and culture.
