National Hispanic Heritage Month 2023
September 15, 2023 - Announcements
Dear 六合彩资料 Community,
Join us in the celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month (NHHM)! Observed annually from September 15-October 15, this year鈥檚 theme is 鈥淟atinos: Driving Prosperity, Power, and Progress in America.鈥� This theme highlights the contributions of those from the Hispanic diaspora to America鈥檚 economic, political, and social growth.
The span of NHHM is designed to incorporate several important dates. September 15 marks the Independence Day of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. On September 16, Mexico celebrates its Independence Day, followed by Chile on September 18 and Belize on September 21. First decreed by President Lyndon Johnson, the yearly celebration of NHHM initially began in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week. It was later expanded in 1988 to cover a 30-day period, officially enacted into law on August 17, 1988.
NHHM is meant to honor and acknowledge the many contributions, diverse cultures, and extensive histories of the Hispanic and Latinx/e community in various ways.
