Hispanic Heritage Month celebrated Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. The Hispanic Heritage observance began in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It
was enacted into law on August 17, 1988, on the approval of Public Law 100-402. Hispanic Heritage Month coincides with the anniversary of independence of five Latin American countries on September 15: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Mexico, Chile and Belize also celebrate their independence days during this period and Columbus Day (DĂa de la Raza) is October 12. The term Hispanic or Latino, refers to Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race. Share in this special annual tribute by learning and celebrating the generations of Hispanicand Latino Americans who have positively influenced and enriched our nation and society. To learn more, visit the virtual museum at the Smithsonian Latino Center. Visit Wallace State's Culinary Arts Cafe in the Banquet Hall beginning Oct. 10 for a special menu celebrating Hispanic Heritage! View the menu! Stay tuned for more announcements about upcoming events sponsored by Wallace State's Diversity Committee.
