Hispanic Heritage Month- September 15, 2023- October 15, 2023
September 15 was chosen as the kickoff because it coincides with the Independence Day celebrations of five “Central American neighbors,” as Johnson called them—Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Those five nations declared their independence from Spain on September 15, 1821. Other Spanish-speaking nations have anniversaries close to those dates as well. Mexico– our neighbor– declared independence from Spain on September 16th, 1810. Chile did the same on September 18th, 1810.
Throughout U.S. history, Latinx communities have had to struggle for equal rights. The Chicano population (Mexican Americans), especially, has experienced discrimination, and sometimes brutally.
Hispanic Heritage Month was established as a way to honor previously overlooked Latinx contributions and highlight new ones, going forward.
President George Bush said in 1989,
“Today, Hispanic Americans are leaders in government, business, education, sports, science, and the arts… Not all of the contributions made by Hispanic Americans to our society are so visible or so widely celebrated, however. Hispanic Americans have enriched our nation beyond measure with the quiet strength of closely knit families and proud communities.”
