U.S. Gears Up for National Hispanic Heritage Month

National Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrated from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, honors the rich diversity and cultural contributions of Hispanics in the U.S.

With over 65 million Hispanics, the month spotlights the growing influence of this ethnic group, tracing its roots to Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.

Established in 1968 as a weeklong event by President Lyndon B. Johnson, the celebration was expanded to a full month in 1988 under President Ronald Reagan. The starting date, Sept. 15, coincides with the independence anniversaries of several Latin American nations, including Mexico, Guatemala, and Costa Rica.
