September/October are National Hispanic Heritage

September is National Hispanic Heritage (Month-September 15-October 15). The proclamation for the United States to celebrate the contribution of Hispanics to our communities and country started with the observance of Hispanic Heritage Week in September of 1968. It wasn’t until 1988 that Congress authorized the designation of National Hispanic Heritage Month.
