Hispanic Heritage Month (HHM) is nationally celebrated between September 15 and October 15 annually. It traditionally honors and celebrates the diverse cultures and heritage rooted in all Latin American countries, and observes histories, contributions and accomplishments of Hispanic and Latino Americans of past and present. The theme for 2022, as announced by the National Council of Hispanic Employment Program Managers, is "Unidos: Inclusivity for a Stronger Nation."
Beginning in 1968, Hispanic Heritage Month was originally observed as “Hispanic Heritage Week” under President Lyndon Johnson and was later extended to a month by President Ronald Reagan in 1988. Since then, HHM has been celebrated nationwide through festivals, art shows, conferences, community gatherings, and much more.
