What is Hispanic Heritage Month?
National Hispanic Heritage Month is when we celebrate the culture and contributions of Hispanic Americans. It began Sept. 17, 1968 when Congress passed a law proclaiming the week of September 15 and 16 as Hispanic Heritage Week. In 1988, President Ronald Reagan extended it to Hispanic Heritage Month, according to History.com.
On Sept. 14, 1989, President George H.W. Bush was the first president to declare September 15 to October 15 as National Hispanic Heritage Month.
Every US president since Lyndon Johnson has made a National Hispanic Heritage Month proclamation. President Bush said in his 1989 proclamation:
“Hispanic Americans have enriched our nation beyond measure with the quiet strength of closely knit families and proud communities.
