Why is it important to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month?

Hispanic Heritage Month is an annual commemoration of the history and culture of the Latinx and Hispanic communities in the United States.

Hispanic Heritage Month makes it possible celebrate the accomplishments and contributions of Latinos to the United States’  history.

Hispanics and Latinos have made significant contributions to American life since the American Revolution, fighting in every war since.

Latinos are advancing communities across the country as small business owners, veterans, teachers, and public servants, among many other occupations

Hispanic Heritage Month coincides with several Latin American countries’ Independence Day celebrations.

People use this holiday to demonstrate the importance of Hispanics in the United States by donating to Hispanic charities, eating food from any of the countries being honored, learning about their cultures, and honoring influential Hispanics who have made an impact on society.
