CELEBRANDO EL MES DE LA HISPANIDAD

DEL 15 DE SEPTIEMBRE AL 15 DE OCTUBRE

Each year, the United States honors the contributions that Latinos have made to our country with a Hispanic Heritage Month celebration that runs from September 15 to October 15. This annual celebration began 21 years ago, but its inception stretches back farther into our history. Congress first passed a resolution to celebrate Hispanic heritage at the national level as a week -long event on September 17, 1968. Nearly 20 years later, on August 17, 1988, President Ronald Reagan stretched the celebrations to a month, from September 15 to October 15.
