From September 15 - October 15 each year, communities around the U.S observe and celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month. We take this time to learn, honor, and celebrate the countless contributions, histories, and achievements of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, the Republic of Panama, the Republic of Cuba, Central America, and South America.
