- Hispanic Heritage Month
- 2018 marks the 50th Anniversary of the establishment of Hispanic Heritage Month. This years theme is“Hispanics: One Endless Voice to Enhance our Traditions.” National Hispanic Heritage Month is observed from September 15 to October 15 and celebrates the histories,cultures and contributions of those 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 by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 31-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988, on the approval of Public Law 100-402. The day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico, Chile, and Belize celebrate their independence days on September 16, September 18, and September 21, respectively.
