What Is Hispanic Heritage Month?
Hispanic Heritage Month began in 1968 as a week-long celebration and was later expanded to a month in 1988. The observance honors the independence days of several Latin American countries and recognizes the contributions of the Hispanic community to the United States. It’s a vibrant celebration of Hispanic culture and history that children can enjoy through storytelling and creativity.
