Everyone welcomed!
National Hispanic Awareness Month is a time to celebrate the culture, traditions, and achievements of Latinos/Hispanics who reside in the United States. The month-long celebration began as a week-long observance in 1968 under President Lyndon Johnson to honor our country's Hispanic heritage. In 1988 the celebration was expanded to a month. September 15 was chosen as the first day of Hispanic Heritage Month because it is the anniversary of the independence of several Latin American nations–Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Guatemala. Mexico and Chile achieved independence only days later on September 16 and September 18 respectively.
