National Hispanic Month starts on September 15th and ending
October 15th. In 1968, Congress authorized President Lyndon B.
Johnson to proclaim a week in September as National Hispanic
Heritage Week. The observance was expanded in 1988 to a month long
celebration (Sept. 15-Oct. 15).
During this month, America celebrates the culture and traditions
of U.S. residents who trace their roots to Spain, Mexico and the
Spanish-speaking nations of Central America, South America and the
Caribbean.
Sept. 15 was chosen as the starting point for the celebration
because it is the anniversary of independence of five Latin
American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras
and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their
independence days on Sept. 16 and Sept. 18, respectively.
