Hispanic Heritage Month
The celebration recognizes the contributions of Americans with Hispanic roots.
It is a tradition that has been celebrated for at least 56 years. Its origins date back to 1968, when George W. Brown, a member of the House of Representatives, first proposed that the country formally recognize Hispanic contributions through a law that would authorize the president to proclaim National Hispanic Heritage Week each year, around Sept. 15 and 16.
