How did Hispanic Heritage Month come to be?
National Hispanic Heritage Month is held annually from mid-September to mid-October, but what does that mean, exactly? The month is dedicated to celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America, hispanicheritagemonth.gov explains. It started as Hispanic Heritage Week, until President Ronald Reagan expanded it to a month in 1988. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on Sept. 16 and Sept. 18, respectively. Also, Columbus Day or Da de la Raza, which is Oct. 12, falls within this 30 day period.
