Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month

The observance of Hispanic Heritage Month started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan and enacted into law in 1988 to cover a 30-day period, which this year runs from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15. The theme for 2024 is “Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together.”
