Hispanic Heritage Month occurs annually in the United States from September 15th to October 15th. Nearly 20% of the population in the U.S. identifies as having Hispanic/Latino heritage, meaning these individuals represent a huge part of our community. Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to recognize better and celebrate the many contributions made to the history and culture of the U.S.
