SEMANA 10: DEL 5 AL 9 DE OCTUBRE - WEEK 10: FROM OCTOBER 5TH TO 9TH 2015

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH

MES DE LA HERENCIA HISPANA

MES DE LA HISPANIDAD

DEL 15 DE SEPTIEMBRE AL 15 DE OCTUBRE

Hispanics have contributed to every avenue of American life since the inception of this country. Hispanics’ origins have played a key role in our country’s socio-economic, political and cultural development and many argue: 

What would America would be like without the presence of Hispanics and their influence?

America must acknowledge and respect the contributions of Hispanics in every aspect of our society. At the same time we must also come to terms that we are a nation of immigrants. The economic, political and social-cultural influence of current immigrants is far more beneficial to the nation than our media critics make them out to be. Hispanics are fast becoming the new foundation of our country’s economic, political and social-cultural power.

“No other immigrant group in the history of our great nation has the potential to redefine America. Remember “we did not cross the border: the border crossed us.”http://www.harvardhispanic.org/commentary-what-would-america-be-like-without-hispanics/
