National Hispanic Heritage Month traditionally honors the cultures and contributions of both Hispanic and Latine Americans, including from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South American. During this month and throughout the year we share history, heritage, and accomplishments of Hispanic and Latine Americans of the past and present.
Today, Hispanic and Latine people continue to demonstrate excellence in many areas including politics, public service, music, film, sports, business, science, and the military. We celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month to recognize the achievements and contributions of Hispanic and Latine American champions.
