Let’s begin by thinking about why Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated. Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15. According to the official National Hispanic Heritage Month website, we honor this month “by celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Why does Hispanic Heritage Month begin on September 15? September 15 is a very significant date because it marks the anniversary of independence for the Latin American countries of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.
