Happy Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month: Americans observe National Hispanic/Latinx Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15. The month-long celebration coincides with the independence days of Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Belize. The celebration began in 1968, and was made a month-long celebration in 1988 by the U.S. Congress. Join us this month in celebrating the myriad of cultures within Central and Latin America and other Spanish-speaking countries, and the contributions of those peoples to America!
